artthouwill Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 23 hours ago, Busjack said: If one accepts the logic that the Blue Line will be the last to get 7000s, and thus is getting 3200s, that's not a relevant consideration. The 100 rehabs will probably stay on the Blue Line and already have Blue Line roll signs. The issue is the maybe 160 cars that do not have Orange/Brown signs. Aren't there some 250 plus roll signs that used to be on the 3200s around? I bet those have Orange and Brown Line signs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that, or some 900 roll signs from Red between when they were ordered for Ashland-63 trips when the Dan Ryan was closed until they became unnecessary when the Red Line became all 5000s. But I agree with you re signs from 3200s before rehab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manny018 Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 is it just me or are the 2600s much louder when it’s warmer outside than when it’s cold. They make a really loud noise in the summer, is that just the air conditioning running that’s making them louder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping they restore it in its original livery and make 3199-3200 part of a Heritage Train. CTA needs to keep this pair cause they're historical.

Marker lights and destination signs are set together on the same panel. Not sure why the 54th/Cermak announcements were playing though, as that is a separate device. On a charter years back we had the signs set to O’Hare on the 2200s while at Kimball for a bathroom stop. As a joke one of the operators was messing around with the announcement system and despite the O’Hare signs everyone soon heard “58th is next.”, followed by “Your attention please. We are standing momentarily because of a raised bridge ahead. We expect to be moving shortly.” Everyone got a kick out of that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several years ago on a Red Line train at Grand the doors closed, the train started up, the train stopped, and a "sick passenger" announcement was made. Then I saw smoke in the station coming from the train. the guy standing next to me looked at me, said "F*** it," pulled the cherry, and we got off the train and ran up the stairs. As I was walking down State Street the fire engines were on their way. This is the first case of spontaneous human combustion I ever heard of. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
