chgofan78 Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 Just spotted 2673-2674 on the Orange Line from the Blue Line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusHunter Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 I added a quick link on my "L" roster which will link you to the #3200's rehab list. This way maybe it's a little easier to access. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicagos_D Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 I just saw a 6 car set go by Chicago/Franklin. 2861-2862, 2883-2884, 2887-2888. Going nb run #000. It didn't have the "Training Train" sign as usual if otherwise use for that specific purpose. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJL6000 Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Someone needs to update the 2600 series roster again: For the past few weeks 2679-2680 and 2943-2944 have been on the Orange Line. I have not seen 2941-2942 in service recently, which means that they may be on long-term hold. Also, the 5000 series assignments have shifted: Cars 5051-5056 are now officially assigned to the Pink Line while cars 5183-5186 were transferred from the Red Line to the Green Line.

BusHunter Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 As if the Green line doesn't already have more than enough cars, I spotted #5185-86 on the Green line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, the Pink Line was the first to be 100% 5000-series cars, and hasn't operated any 2600-series since 2012. The Red Line was the last line to operate both 2600-series and 5000-series cars until last year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because the Green Line borrows some of the Pink Line-assigned 5000s while sending a like number of its own 5000s to the Pink Line, on a periodic basis.

Green and Pink Lines shares 5001-5186 respectively. There isn't a set roster for both lines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of the shared Pink/Green fleets, I wonder why CTA doesn't introduce combined Pink/Green Line maps, similar to the combined Red/Purple/Yellow Line maps. This would create less confusion, since some Pink Line riders may get confused if they see Green Line maps inside or vice-versa. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I have been on a nominally Green Line car on the Pink Line they have Pink Line maps including 5119 last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really sure what's going on with 5183-5184. Two days ago, they were surrounded by Red Line cars. This morning, they are still sitting in the same spot, but with 5035-5036 and 5073-5074.

They should be either going to the Skokie Shop or coming from there to resume service in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
