YoungBusLover Posted April 14 Report Posted April 14 #8862 has entered service out of 77th this afternoon and I'll assume it's only for the PM rush. 1 Quote
garmon757 Posted April 15 Report Posted April 15 #8859 is now in service out of North Park and an interesting move #8866 is now at North Park from 77th. 1 Quote
garmon757 Posted April 16 Report Posted April 16 #8830 and #8845 are in service out of North Park. Spotted #8845 with advertising wrapping last night, in which I think that's the very first 8350s being wrapped on the first day of service. 1 Quote

I gave up the bus assignment game once they stopped grouping fleet numers together 😅. Hopefully it's easier to put stuff in service, get heavy maintenance and milage trades done without having to make sure the fleet numbers stay consolidated in blocks. 2 Quote

In essence, the remaining deliveries will primarily go to North Park, C, and K. Quote

Indeed which is where the retirement process will be focused on until the first 430 #1000s out the 520 left get selected for a 2nd rebuild. Quote

IRRC @andrethebusman99 addressed this earlier. There will be 600 identical buses. plus 25 buses that look about the same, plus 425 buses that probably aren't much different. By comparison, the 1000s, although scattered at various times, had differing Cummins engines, transmissions, etc. The only time I remember CTA having so many of the same kind was the 1970s 1000s/7400s/9000s, but I'm sure in those days the records were in a card file, not on a computer server. What seemed to dictate allocations this time were training and fareboxes. Quote
garmon757 Posted April 19 Report Posted April 19 #8847 and #8858 are now in service. #8847 is not on the tracker yet while spotted at Howard. Also, spotted #8880 on the Dan Ryan heading south. Quote
