Busjack Posted November 16 Report Share Posted November 16 Interestingly, chicago-l.org has documentation on the 7000s page that Quote At the December 15, 2021 Chicago Transit Board meeting, the CTA Board approved a change order to CRRC's contract that, among other things, authorized the delivery of up to 16 "early production cars", in addition to the 10 prototype cars. This change allowed CRRC to continue delivering cars, but because they were not considered production cars they did not trigger the contractual step of CTA having approved completion of the testing phase, allowing testing and modifications resulting from testing to continue.

artthouwill Posted November 20 Report Share Posted November 20 Well, if there were any 7000s sitting in Skokie Shops, they are stuck there for the foreseeable future due to the Yellow Line accident. I suppose Skokie is the only place where new cars can be mated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be cars entering property from 63rd which is referred as “Skokie South” it’s best to deliver 7000s there as to what they did to the 5000s when the yellow line was shut down because of the embankment that collapsed in 2015, instead of waiting for the line to reopen.

That's if it gets that bad though. Supposedly they're gonna move everything out the way by Wednesday so they'll probably just wait. It'd be another thing if it was gonna be a long term thing like the embankment collapse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the 63rd Lower Yard once had a direct connection to a mainline RR, just like Skokie did when the 2400s were delivered by the C&NW.
