Posted by chicagoPCCLCars on Tue Sep 11 21:06:54 2012 Man, I wanna thank everyone for so much love you've shown to Chicago's CTA. As a retired motorman, current charter director, and announcer on the Holiday Train, I'll take advantage of special access to try and keep the Love flowing.David Harrison A six car Green line of 2400's on Lake St. Bridge over the S. Branch.  A NB Green line train of 2400s roars out of the sound deadening tube on the IIT campus at 32nd St.  6/8's of a grand union, from the head car, we're lined up to make a Pink line move to the left; straight ahead would be a Purple move, Orange move to the right. The inbound track to the left is Brown line straight, Brown or Green reloop the Loop from the right because of stuck drawbridget; and Green terminating on Loop from the left.  When the Chicago White Sox won the Worlds Series in 2005, a pair of 2600's were wrapped in honor of the team. The wrapped cars are on a charter at Linden Ave, Wilmette, IL, Purple line.  A two-car 2400 series charter on the tail track west of Ashland/63rd Green line. This paint scheme is no-more. Note that the interlocking signal can display all indications with only four lenses: red over red, yellow over red, red over yellow, call on-red over red over lunar.  A six car charter of 2200 series Budd cars leaves the layup track taking charter members on a tour of Midway yard.  |
