I'll never forget the things I can't remember.

“One of the CTA’s electric freight locomotives hauls a two-car train consisting of a Southern Pacific boxcar and a bulkhead flatcar loaded with lumber on the lead connecting to Buena Yard north of Montrose circa the mid-1960s.”

From The Chicago Tribune: ”The Chicago Transit Authority has started installing electronic signs at 400 of its busiest bus shelters to inform riders when the next bus will arrive. Those 400 shelters represent 20 percent of the bus shelters throughout Chicago, but accommodate 80 percent of the system’s bus ridership, CTA President Forrest Claypool said. The cost of the project is covered by $1.4 million of CTA funds, a $1.8 million Regional Transportation Authority grant and $640,000 in federal transit money.”

Now those without cell phones can get the same level of service, at least at 400 stops, as those with them. Also, who knew LED signs were so expensive? $3.84 million dollar project works out to $9,600 per sign. This doesn’t include GPS, which the buses were already equipped with.
