Are the 5000 series only running between UIC/Halsted and Jefferson Park?

[@ralphp224]

They are. It would be nice if they ran between O’Hare and UIC instead.

[@denyzaro]

Yep and they are NOT a blue line trains, they are pink line trains, they are storing at pink line yards.

[@chrisrogus7381]

The front ends of the 7000 series look like a combination of the late 2000 series Pullmans and the 2200 series Budds.

Once again incredible video and thank you for the work you put in to give us these videos 👍🏽.

[@MatPf]

What line are the 7000 trains running on right now?

[@ralphp224]

I confirmed it with my friend who works as a CTA maintenance worker and he says only on the Blue Line for now.
