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. More importantly mylar destination signs. Practical limits on how many exposures on a roll (about 125) meant each garage had distinctive signs which while not extremely difficult to change out, were definitely a hassle to do so you tried to avoid doing that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
