Cars 1892 and 1992 are currently stored at IRM with an uncertain future. They are supposedly going to be used as parts for the museum’s operational pair, but time will tell if they’ll be scrapped or not.

While this car is stuffed and mounted in a museum (on loan per the CTA), at least Northwestern Elevated 24 now runs at IRM.

I love how the 5-50 series train approaches the station at 6:50.

Oh, golly, I must have taken this train several thousand times to and from UIC. Ah, the memories... and the soul-destroying ten hours a week on public transportation.

Thanks so much for this. I grew up riding the 6000 series L trains

I remember when the Oscar Mayer Company was up there and Cooley High was just being torn down

Was that the 2000 series you were on? I was listening to the doors open and close

Yep, this is when i was riding the Evanston Express and i was living in Evanston at the time

I made history by riding the first sb train into the new tunnel from Howard st to 95th st and back to Washington and State and took another sb train to Ashland/63rd, trains going both ways that day. It was fun.

I remember when 63rd st was a "A" train stop. Garfield Blvd-55th st was a "B" train stop

I remember seeing and riding the Evanston Express cars on the Dan Ryan line when we had that deep freeze and snowstorm. I was still in high school and yes i had to ride them!

I remembered when i rode past the Wilson St shops and they just put that fire out, I was on the Jackson Park Howard L riding to Washington/State station.

I rode the 2000 series on the Evanston Express, the former West-northwest 6000 series and i rode the early 6000 series flat door cars with trolley poles on top too

I miss riding the 5-50 series and the 6000 series on the Evanston Express

this gotta be after 2004

26:59 this is the same clip from the other clip

I ran the Centennials in 1984.

Not going to say I wish I knew what it was like to ride on the Boston El but it's a big step forward to get this line underground.

Rehab 2600-series......1999 or 2000? Some 2600-series cars still unmodified

Wilson burned down in 1996? Library wasn't opened til 1997? OPTO Purple was June 1997. I'm guessing this was spring 1997. Some red line 2600s aren't OPTO ready yet

What year did they recorded the lines?

I was unaware that they actually ran proper express trains that actually skip stations. Shame that the purple line now stops at most stations it passes by

Planned pans on 3200-series cars? 🤔

1997 or 1998? Love seeing the 2600-series BELLY CARS on the Red line. David, I'm sure you had to have seen me running motor sitting in the tower. Did you have control of that old school destination sign that faced SB motor people?

What years are these videos from? Thank you! You rock!!

I love your vintage CTA videos.

How many cars does the Yellow Line run with now? Is it still a cozy ride?

I wonder if the 3rd rails were de-energized while everyone was walking about.

When this was taken

Were they celebrating 100 years on the 'L'

Wow! 1:18 Indeep When Boys Talk!!

What the hell are those announcements

The renovation of green line

There's a typo in the title of the post

The K3LA Was nice, but doesn’t really suit it.

Do u have clips from 2006 when the pink line opened?

In 2024 Chicago l changed a lot

Who's the guy on the PA at Paulina Jct? Was that Pete Vesic?

Modell used to run that Block 🚫.

The 6000s. The finest railcars of the CTA fleet.

Were these All-Electric cars? (Philly Railfan here) I'm suspecting they were. Next, were they all Skokie cars?

Notice the heavy 24 hours gridlock on the Kennedy Expressway. It can be even like during the hours of 2AM-5AM!!!!!

These cars used components from PCC cars. They are not PCC cars.

Howard Station looks crap

44:02 WTF why the doors are open?

Promo`SM 😒

this is my worst year for holiday train for 2023

A motorman of mine NB Belmont/Red; Mr Lindsey Carney...RIP

Must be Jan-Mar of 1997. Purple and Red line equipment not OPTO ready yet. 2 car Purple line trains in snowstorm when cta wasn't afraid that employees wouldn't know how to operate in snow
