I think you are talking about 4133 and 4132. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adults notice when it's passing by and young kids get really excited when they see it from the street. I have not seen this kind of positivity from Toronto residents over anything transit in years and the TTC really needs to reclaim some of the goodwill it has lost in recent years. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not seen this kind of positivity from Toronto residents over anything transit in years and the TTC really needs to reclaim some of the goodwill it has lost in recent years. I understand that the TTC would probably not make it happen, but I’ve thought about whether or not a private museum would like it as a static piece somewhere in or around Toronto. Speaking of which, I thought it would’ve been nice for somewhere like Roundhouse Park to maybe consider having a CLRV on static display. Unfortunately no such plans have been mentioned to my knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2044 Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 I think a dream scenario, other than keeping 4178 running, would be preserving it as a static display outside Wychwood Barns or another public/community space. I imagine it would still be a huge undertaking, maintaining it though. 2 hours ago, Orion VI said: Really? 4002 is being parted out? That's sad. Yes. Was told most of the interior components have been taken out. Likely set aside for 4001 and 4003. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLRV4002 Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 https://youtu.be/xFcuEjtHjl0 This is a video posted in 2015 of a streetcar near Dundas and Roncesvalles. Anyone remember which one this was and was it subsequently retired after this incident? By zooming in it looks like 4126 but I’m not 100% sure. If that’s the case it did return to service after this.

I don’t even need to look at the video to know which car you mean haha. 4126 had overhead wire fall on top of it and and went into storage briefly. The car went up to Hillcrest, then came back into revenue service afterwards 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLRV4002 Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 4186 hasn’t been in service in 8 days. 4094 hasn’t been in service for 4 days but has been tracking at some random places over the past couple days. Yesterday it was at Dundas West Station and it is currently at Bathurst Station this late but not signed into the 511. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible it was actually on 511 but signed out 506 has just a few CLRvs on it this morning. 4053, 4100, 4124, 4143, 4155, 4179 and 4187 are the only ones tracking as 506.

Tomorrow morning or perhaps this afternoon might be a better test of Flexity availability. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 4119, 4179 and 4187 are on all day runs, which might shake things up a bit, but the rest seem to just be trippers. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everytime I check the tracker, 4094 goes up and down Bathurst. I'm almost certain that it's on Bathurst just not tracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mar_AC_23 Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 If you guys aren't 100% sure what route 4094 is on, why doesn't someone go out and look for the unit. Trackers aren't always 100% accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallspy Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 My apologies, it is on the 511. A friend of mine had it, and I forgot that the new board started on Sunday. Dan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
