You might have explained the 2600s but what were the 3200s doing? Remember the first set was pulling into Midway. I don't know if these cars came from the Blue Line or the Brown Line or were training cars. The second set seems to have come out of the Forest Park yard but there's no way I could tell where it was heading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Line 3071 Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 Does anyone have the latest railcar assignment roster sheet from the CTA? The one from July 2022 is a bit outdated. For example, I know that 2710 has been moved to the Blue Line and 3111 has been scrapped. In addition, there are at least 24 more 7000s in service.
