Mar_AC_23 Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Can anyone confirm if #1666 is done? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabianColeyLOVESBUSES Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 1640 1768 1795 and 1803 are now retired and going to be decommissioned. I am assuming that 1666 is done I didn't find out on 1666 today. Last week I heard its awaiting repairs apparently which I doubt it. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bus_7246 Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 I guess it’s been in purgatory for a while. This is a rare moment, and probably one of the last time it was beside one close sister, 1667 (taken July 13th) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion V Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 So they're retiring the 50 units in the 15xx/16xx series that were rebuilt / repainted too? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think only the ones without VISION for now. All of the NGs at obico are basically extra buses and aren't needed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTC4120fan Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 I counted 18 units left with TRUMP at North Queen: 1609 1630 1632 1643 1665 1683 1759 1760 1761 1772 1774 1782 1791 1804 1813 1817 1818 1829 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they aren't needed are they getting scraped or just chilling there to be used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runs 83, 84 & 85 I believe the first 501 pm tripper starts at around 4:52 pm at Sunnyside loop. Anyway, it is still possible to catch these on non-streetcar routes too. I caught this photo of 7930 on the 44 in July, and it was doing in-service training(there was a supervisor on-board). About a week later as well, 7951 was doing the 112C, that was also in-service training. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like from the tracker that 1665 seemed to have an issue while training, probably a break down perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I checked, 8362 was parked in front of 4004. The engine was removed. I didn't bother to check for 8362 yesterday when I passed by. It might still be parked in front of 4004.

Once again, just because a unit isn't tracking that doesn't mean its retired. Its still sitting beside davenport garage, minus the engine. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could change of course. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
