Ride the Rails in Time-lapse: • CTA's Ride the Rails: ...
The CTA has more than 224 miles of railroad tracks across Chicago and surrounding suburbs, serving the agency's eight rail lines. In an average weekday, there are about 2,200 train trips making stops at the system's 145 rail stations. For more than 100 years, the 'L' has offered a unique perspective of Chicago.
In the first-ever documentation of its kind, the CTA has created a ride along the length of each rail line. Shot in HD, you can now experience the 'L' like never before from the vantage point of the rail operator. You can even transfer between lines.
Hop aboard, and enjoy the ride.

Man... I remember riding to Howard all the time, and the screaming the train made going top-speed on that long stretch between Clark and North/Clybourn. Hell of a ride down there.
That was cool. Did anyone else notice the weather change? It started with a beautiful blue sky and ended cloudy and overcast.
It was a journey through time as well. At the beginning people were wearing coats and the trees had no leaves. Near the end people were wearing shorts and it looked like summertime.
Chicago’s weather is so unique. In Singapore, the only weather we have is rain and summer
@Maximus Prime They don't call it the "Windy City" for nothing, I might add.

"Make me"
Great video. Thanks for making it. I rode the Red line to work for years in the 1970s. Good to see how nicely the stations have been fixed up.
CTAconnections thanks for the red line
That was great !!! Thank you very much for the video. I rode what was then either an A or B train from Howard to Monroe and then back again five days each week from the mid-fifties to 1970, when I moved from Chicago to Idaho. There weren't even any buses in Idaho, so I had to learn to drive a car in order to get back and forth to work and the grocery store. That was a whole new experience and I really did miss the 'el'.
Wow! Awesome video.....so its the first time I see where the Dan Ryan used to connect with the Harlem-Lake Street branch via the incline going north after Cermak-Chinatown. to form the old Lake-Dan Ryan route used from the late 60s until 1993. Good Job CTA!!!
You guys are the best, I’m gonna ride the el every day once I get a job in chicag
I like how on multiple occasions while I was riding, as the doors were opening, the intercom “said door closing” and they would shut. Barely giving people a chance to get on, but somehow everyone got on.
Freaking love these
I love how it gets foggy at the end
I like the red Mann song alot because it is a good for me and I like your guys song thank you for letting me keep this song thank you
I remember when this first came out back in 2014 I haven’t seen the ride the rails videos in a long time I was 10 years old back in 2014 good old days
it a good song
OMG I juy remembered i stop a Jackson to Lawrence
I love these time lapse videos! I downloaded them all using YTD, I just wish somehow there was a way to get the full HD video quality, unlike the RUclips quality
So cool!
Been a L O N G time since I rode the El almost every day - Good to see the stations spiffed up, but some apparently not used anymore?
also the music is like a journey from the very far soth east... back to the northshore channel border
Great video. Would love to see it posted in real time with real world sounds. There's a guy who does them for New York and they're fantastic.
Chris Kotsopoulos They Actually Make Those! I’ll Get A Link In A Sec! Edit: Ok It’s m.ruclips.net/video/iBq99AeLRYo/видео.html&t
According to the map, Jackson is interchanged with Harold Washington Library and Monroe on the red and blue lines aren’t interchanges. Washington, lake and state/lake are interchange stations
This train stops at two ball parks
Both Cubs (go Cubs) and Sox field
I consider riding the Red Line a must when in Chicago.
I'm a Red and Blue Line addict, myself.
after it exits the subway its like "back to the north shore... where you belong..."
what if we like to transfer?
the platform for sheridan looks way too dangerous
No I Think The Platform For Howard Is Dangerous
If only the L ran as fast as it did in real life 😂
My brother and I were planning to do this at one point, but then the coronavirus shut down a couple lines, and even though red hadn't been shut down, safety decided for us not to go.
Think it is in the Card System
5 drooling stars out of 5 drooling stars for this video.
chud
Chud!
***** yup that me, chud on a different website.
I counted two robberies, one guy fondling himself and a Chicago Police shooting!!
What's the song?
It called the red Mann song do you like it that song say yes please and thank you
Why does the train make a brief stop at 7:21 in between Granville and Loyola Stations. There doesn't appear to be a signal.
They have cab signaling.
It's plays the same beat evey time after Monroe station 😑
Bryn Mawr, Berwyn, Thorndale? Is this the red line or the R5? Just kidding, awesome vid CTA!
that one long connected underground station(s), can one walk between them or is each platform gated ?
I am anxious to come visit Chicago.
Yes you can.
Hey CTA, why is Washington on the red line closed?
Washington on the Red Line closed, since the transfer tunnel between the Red and Blue Line was shuttered. It also had to do with the construction of the Block 37 express superstation for express trains to O'Hare, which never was completed and mothballed by the CTA sadly. From what I've heard, sadly it doesn't seem like the CTA will ever restart that project. You can still walk through what used to be the Washington Red Line platform, from either the Lake or Monroe stops! Since that is a long and extended subway platform, between Lake and Jackson.
21 Trains spotted in this video.
There is already a real time video
great visual, lousy, annoying music; thank heaven for mute! I've been 'in love' with subways from childhood. Going from the Bronx to Brooklyn to visit my sister was a great urban rail adventure! Now I'm fascinated with the CTA system that I hope to see and ride in person! I'm a railfan but specifically urban subways, light rail, trolleys and buses and commuter railways as well! Can't wait to ride the El through the Loop! Hold on, Chicago, I'm coming! Please stand clear of the closing doors!!
never say anoing song ever again
@maira salinas agree
Jackson and Monroe you can walk through???
Palo Soto and lake
yeah... why the hell is that
CTA, make the train longer!!!
Platforms aren't long enough
Each line has their own amount of cars
Red: 8 cars
Blue: 8 cars
Brown: 6-8 cars
Green: 4-6 cars
Orange 4 cars
Purple 2-4 cars
Purple express 4-6 cars
Pink 4 cars
Yellow 2 cars
i always took this to chinatown
belmont and wilson are under renovation
what trains are in the video
5000 series built by Bombardier
Jackson & Monroe were connected?
@Echo Rockmore
The whole time
why the hell does it go so slow from granville to loyola, that shit pisses me off lol
No F**k Swearing man
Starting at 3:34, why is 3 stations connected to each other?
You mean the worlds longest platform? Yeah idk
Me neither
They forgot to add "Cubs" after the Addison stop, like they did with 35th - Sox.
35th - Sox is the name of the stop and Addison is just Addison!
PRHILL9696 until now.
memories of the Chi
where did the blue line video go?
Randy Baxley to forest park or to o’hare
The blue line vids went no we’re
This was Cool tho'
lake is state\lake
CTA seriously likes to use names as station.
Examples:
Jarvis - Iron man reference
Wilson
Washington - George Washington
Jackson - Michael Jackson
Harold Washington Library - Harold
Harrison - Harrison
Ralph Kai since murica loves making everything easier, they’re street names. example: Howard cuz its at Howard Avenue, Lake cuz its at the block with Lake Street.
Wow you are really fucking stupid. The names are named after the street that they are on or close to. And they came up with the names WAY before Iron Man or Michael Jackson were even known. Why the fuck would the CTA name a stop after a movie character?
oh fuck i just remembered i stop at Washington go to red line thats odd
No Swearing 🤬
this is one of the most confusing rail networks ive ever seen, and some of the stations look really bad!
They are but it's because they're at some places over 100 years old. But some stations have been renovated recintly like Loyola just finished a renovation about a year ago and Wilson is getting one right now and it's including a new station house and they're going to have a elevator. Also the Red Line goes on some of the oldest railway tracks in Chicago some places is over a 100 years old and way past their intended life cycle so the CTA is planning a huge renovations on both The Red and Purple Lines because both lines run on some of the oldest tracks in our city and for example if you wanted to go to Ryan Field to see The Northwestern Wildcats play and you were in a wheelchair you would either have to get off at either Davis in downtown evanston or at howard and at either station transfer to The CTA Bus 201 to go the rest of the way or take Metra Union Pacific North Line to Central Evanston and go the rest of the way being it's close to the station. But both Red and Purple Lines are in desperate need of extreme renovations. The Tracks on them have so many slow zones that the trains can't go on the intended speeds that they're supposed to run so the renovation the CTA is planning will help hugely being The Red Line is the most ridden line in the system.
How is it confusing?
well some of the stations are joined together which is very odd
DekkasTrains It is a long tunnel with many stations close together because that part is under the Loop which is a very busy section of the city so it makes sense to have many stations close together there. It is needed trust me I know. My understanding is it is famous due to the set up as the longest Subway station on earth and for being so unique and it has free transfer tunnels to another Subway on the next block over with a similar set up
The train lines are all color coded and the stations usually have only one supervisor and has no time to clean or fix the station, so what is so hard about it?
cta needs to fix the problems with the blue line, I mean every time you hear about it something has gone wrong and most of the time a train jumping the tracks!
That was only one time
The elevated part ain't safe for CTA workers at all!
The train goes so fast that it looks like it’s going backwards
It's in fast motion
Chicago is a shame. Lacks tru leader ship
Oh wow nice ride all animated.. None of that shit is real
What the fuck are you talking about? You need to get your eyes checked if you think any of this is remotely animated. Like you've never heard of a fast forwarded video before. lol
No Swearing 🤬
Slow down.
