yvarushin Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 Spotted a single U2 car out today on 7th ave. Too far to catch the unit number Not scout. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRT Posted August 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 U2 cab end. New old stock. This is compatible with the ETS cars as it doesn’t have the holes for the extra light fixtures near the destination sign. Sitting outside at Anderson awaiting..... not sure what. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

School Bus 101 Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 2075 is listed on the City's Surplus Sales and Auction page. If only they'd auction off specific parts of it like the destination sign... https://surplus.calgary.ca/Public/Default.aspx?category=28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRT Posted December 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Made a quick count of all existing U2 cars on CT property today. OBMF 28 cars currently stored inside (including scout) 12 cars on the loop track outside (presumably next to be scrapped) Haysbro 8 Anderson none total cars 48 “Rumour” has it they will never see regular service again except for the unexpected spare consist going out worst case scenario. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRT Posted December 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 I found 4 U2s at Anderson Total 52 cars Still a significant number of cars. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Calon Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 There are two U2 cars parked outside OBMF as of yesterday evening that appear to be going for scrap - aka: Pantographs down, doors folded open... No idea what numbers as it's tough to read from the overpass at 70km/h. Seriously wondering if U2's will ever make it back to regular revenue service...

Was was the last U2-DC car ever built? Did San Diego ever receive newer units then 2083? This just came to mind... 2102 would of been the very last U2 EVER built. (And it’s gone) Right?

CTrainDude Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 I don't believe it's the last ever built. San Diego had some 1989 and 1990 U2 LRVs. So even newer than the U2AC cars. And some of those former San Diego units are running in Argentina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechSpotlight Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 Saw a U2 consist heading EB in the core right now. Saw it in a moments notice, so I couldnt see fleet numbers or the number of cars in the consist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chills_on_the_train Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 U2 consist going west through downtown on Blue Line just now. I was going the other way so didn't catch numbers but I think the last one was 2043. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
