Spring 2019 Rail Pick April 28th

[renardo870 37]

It looks like the Red Line will have all trains going to 95th during weekday rush hours ending its run to/from Ashland/63rd, according to the pick sheets I looked at out of Howard. Also the midnight runs will go back to 836-840.

April 28th, but technically the trips end after the PM Rush Period on April 26th but are still active as part of the pick until the new pick is in effect.

I will be sad.  This could be the last time we see Howard - Ashland/63 service ever.

Something doesn't seem right.  10 night cars get consolidated into just 4-5???

Sometimes every 20 minutes between 11p and 4am due to single track work in the subway or south end.

939 is the last night car out of 95th now and 940 is an extra.

It's now official

Are there any other changes with the other lines, specifically the Blue Line rush hour service  between Racine and Jefferson Park using 5000s from the Pink Line?

I wouldn't imagine that's changing soon until the blue line gets the infrastructure to handle more modern fleets.
