Expand The Brandon Johnson comments had more to do with service levels on the West side and NW sides being unequal and nothing to do with the Blue Line receiving 7000s. As for the 7000s, it seems like the options( cars beyond the initial 400 base order) may not be exercised. It's possible CTA may instead put out an RFP for a 9000 series set of cars instead. In the meantime, supposedly the remaining 3200s on the Brown Line are to be swapped with an equal amount of 2600s. Once there are enough 7000s to replace all of the Blue Line 2600s, continued deliveries of 7000s will send 3200s back to the Brown line Orange Lines. The only question would be if CTA has a back up contract with Alstom should things get bad enough with CRRC that CTA would decide to cancel the 7000s and surrender the new cars currently in service?
