Bus1883 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 I have created this topic for any potential conversations relating to any future maintenance/status of cars and deliveries or retirements, so let’s get started. 2943-44, 3105-06, and 3277-78 is at Skokie Shops. 3451-52 is still in the yard at Skokie thought It would been back on the brown line already following the fire on #3452, however there is video relating to the 2024 rodeo Jamboree somewhere around September with them being spotted inside the shop. I’m not going to point out any active 5000s or recent delivered 7000s as they are in and out of Skokie shops receiving overhauls/being inspected before being sent down to the Blue Line for service. 2200-series 1969-70 Budd Company: 2273-2274 (Retired) 2400-series 1976-78 Beong-Vertol: 2401-2402 (Storage) 2600-series 1981-87 Budd Company: 2613-2614 (Possible Retirement) 2655-2656 (Possible Retirement) 2849-2850 (Possible Retirement) 2893-2898 (Stored for annual Holiday Train) 3067-3068 (Possible Retirement) 3105-3106 (Possible Retirement) 3200-series 1992-94 Morrison-Knudsen: 3351/3447 (Stored) 5000-series 2009-15 Bombardier: 5271-5272 (Long Term Hold) 5599-5600 (Stored as Long Term Hold) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pair was apart of the 4 car consist, the others had paint issues and other stuff happening. This car was fine until an incident in the yard completely fried it beyond repair.

Don’t take my word I’m guessing someone mistakenly coupled it with a pair of 5000s which damaged 2544 electrically? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are 100% correct, somehow it got electrically couple to a 5000 which never ever should happen and all the electronics got fried in the 2400. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could those cars be on LTH for legal issues such as a lawsuit or other legal or judicial matter involving these cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
