CTA 'L' - Howard Yard Action + 7000 Series on the Red Line

Here we have a CRRC 7000 Series train finishing its run on the Red Line and going around the yard Loop at Howard to begin its next run to downtown and 95th/Dan Ryan. Other Purple and Yellow Line trains are seen here also moving across the yard.
Also more scenes of 7000s along the Red Line.
Stay tuned for more

It’s such a nice train.

[@wiiu2472]

if you see a 7000 car in person the first thing you’ll think about is how the heck did that car get so freaking shiny

The CTA Chicago Subway should get the R142 Subway Cars that Run in New York City

[@xpertt4kexclusiveness_mov669]

Ouuu they actually don’t look that bad , and it’s a coincidence how MTA got its 10 car set R211 the same time y’all got the 7000 series lol

[@ChicagolandTransit]

We've had our 7000 series cars on CTA property since August of 2020. Your R211s I believe were supposed to be delivered around that time too but are delayed by a year and just came in this month.

@@xpertt4kexclusiveness_mov669 That's good. I was in NYC the same week the first 5 cars were moved to Coney Island. I wish I caught them but I took a day trip that same day out to Boston instead lol

[@ChicagolandTransit]

I am very much looking forward to the R211s and seeing them begin their testing. Hopefully I get my opportunity to see them soon lol

[@litlgrey]

Have these cars now entered revenue service... or are they still in the testing phase?

[@ChicagolandTransit]

They are testing in revenue service.

Love seeing Chicago skyline in the background I videos of trains beaded towards downtown Chicago! Is that the Seat's Tower?

Imagine the sound of the new R211 in NYC.

@@tech83studio38 New York is also getting new rail cars at the same time we are. They're Similar in a sense to the 7000s because of the blue end caps they have.
