Interesting #5155-60 are not loaned anymore. But I guess they have to be if the santa cars are gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briman94 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 5000s just left Howard on purple towards loop. Barely missed them. What's their turnaround time to get back to Howard? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busjack Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 According to the timetable, the one leaving Howard at 4:33 would be back to Howard at 5:52. Not sure if that's your train, but it looks like about 1 hour 19 minutes in any event. (if it was the 4:20, it would be back to Howard at 5:37).

garmon757 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 I've forgot to mention this morning that I was at Linden around 7am when I saw the 5000s. I was about to board on them but some idiotic supervisor made me and some people switch to the other side of the platform (2600s mixed with 2400s in the middle of the set) in which that was really bs!!! Here's a slight shot of #5420 leading a 4-car train siding with pitch dark #5307 @ Howard around 2am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briman94 Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Oh, I forgot to say that I saw three unpaired 5000s at Skokie Shops today; probably 5425-7 (5428 probably on its way). Do you guys think these'll go on red or purple? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sw4400 Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Shots of them @ Garfield. May want to try to be a little more discreet with photographing the cars, garmon. Didn't look like those passengers in #5430 were too happy about their mugs being taken... if you can turn off the flash and find a way to make it look like your texting rather than photographing with the smartphone(if that's what you're taking pics with), it might be a good idea. I don't want you to get hurt showing us the latest 5000's out there... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I indeed use my iPhone 4S for all of my shots except for the Santa Train last year but I really appreciate you expressing your concerns about it. It's sad enough to say that I have to carry my knife with me all the time because of the fact that I travel to/from west and south sides consistently. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
