Chicago's CTA Opens Intermodal Facility To Ship Cars |
|
|
Posted by ChicagoPCCLCars on Thu Jul 30 18:12:13 2015 With its Yellow line closed and not scheduled to be opened by October, it not by November, the CTA had to get a way to ship new rail cars onto active rails and delivery old rail cars for scrapping or for rehab. The 63rd St. lower yard won-out over other locations. A siding there proved to be the easiest to set up. So far, only one highway trailer has been used daily. A new Bombardier 5000 series approaches the main gate at 63rd St. lower yard.  A 5000 series car awaits the Shuttlewagon to pull it off.  So far, six cars have been delivered, four are mated in married pairs.  Return travel trips allow cars to be scrapped or rehabs to be sent to Skokie Shops. CTA painted the criminal art work. |
