Nintendo wrap on Brown Line train 8/12

[Vinny]

In addition to the wrap on a 3200 (my assumption), Clark/Lake will also be decorated to celebrate the launch of "Super Luigi U". Not sure if this is only for a day or an extended period.

Here's some pictures of the train and Luigi for those Super Mario fans out there. http://www.barstoolsports.com/m/chicago/super-page/the-luigi-brown-line-train-is-so-choice/

They should have also handed out those CTA L maps someone created in Super Mario Bros 3 style.

Looks like the interior wrap covers over the emergency instructions. Does Luigi rescue the passengers in that event?

I don't know, I didn't see him when i was on the cars tonight. They said he was supposed to be there until 7 PM. Maybe he was on a coffee break with L.E. Jack.

I was thinking more the Luigi in the Nintendo game, not some poseur. But if Luigi can't do they job, maybe the first responders call in Sergeant Calhoun from Wreck it Ralph and Dolton.

And hasn't LE Jack been unemployed since about 1997? Will Emanuel come up with Fred Red?

He should be able to do the job, the game is called Super Luigi Bros.

Maybe Ho Dar will come back this fall. I sure many would like to see what he's been up to. The signs did say Ho Dar is coming.

That now has a different connotation, especially on the South Side.

Saw Luigi yesterday at 3:50pm while transferring from the Blue to Green lines. He was next to the two Nintendo game systems just inside the Ground level CTA entrance inside the State of Illinois building.

Here's a few more pictures I have of the interior of the Luigi train.

How Long is this promotion going

[sw4400]

Caught a 4-car Brown Line set early this afternoon... what surprised me was the consist and more importantly... the décor.

3293-3294(ad wrapped for Butterfinger asking "Who took Bart's Butterfinger Bar?")

and

3441-3442(the Luigi cars still ad wrapped for the Nintendo promotion)

Which leads me to pose a question and have the answer!!!

"Who took Bart's Butterfinger Bar?" "Luigi!!!"

How Long is this promotion going

I boarded a Luigi car yesterday at Chicago/Franklin, so the promotion appears to still be running after nearly a month.

[BusHunter]

Bart must have not paid the rent, those cars, #3293-94 are now wrapped for Jagermeister. (That was quick those cars must have only been wrapped for a month.)
