This makes the 2600 series train spotted on the Green Line even stranger Red has a surplus of 5000s. It seems like Red and Green are swapping some cars, presumably to even out mileage.

Erin Mishkin Jr. Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 I wonder why Green and Red are switching cars. I also got 5689 and 5690 on Green Line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.cta85 Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Without looking at the car numbers you can still tell the green and redline cars just by how clean they are on the outside lol. Red line cars are filthy while the green still has a shine to it lol. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some say because of mileage which is a great point. My first thought was Skokie Shops Or maintenance related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that being said they’re probably using cars interchangeably because they use the same equipment. The cars that Red borrowed will go back to Green and vice versa when the pick goes into affect towards the end of next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon93 Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 I guess cars from The Green Line are permanent now? I thought those cars would’ve gone back to Green after the morning rush since today was the last day of Red Line trains going to 63rd and Ashland.

chicagocubs6323 Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 They probably will go back to the Green within the next week or two. If not then it's probably like one member in here said . They could be transferring cars to even out mileage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
