Erin Mishkin Jr. Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 7 hours ago, artthouwill said: Maybe this explains the cars in 98th Yard. The Blue and Orange Line murals more than likely will be on 2600 series cars. The question is whether the Green Line will borrow a 2600 series consist or will they actually be a 5000 series consist with the murals? The Orange and Blue Line serve the airports and the Green Line serves the United Center and McCormick Place. They’re using 5000s for the murals nothing is loaned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think the green line will be borrowing 2600s because the photos on the website of the murals on the cars are on 2600 cars. So I bet the green line will barrow 2600 cars. why the hell would the green line even use the 2600 just for a mural when they could just use the 5ks…?

Because you can see the mural so much more clearly and it will look better. The 2600 don’t have any of the bump things on the outside. It’s much easier to see and will look better.

Busjack Posted September 2 Report Share Posted September 2 More mass mayhem: 4 people killed in shooting on CTA Blue Line train to Forest Park. However, in an oddity, "Forest Park police were able to locate an offender through video surveillance. The Chicago Police Department then located a subject matching the description on a CTA Pink Line train, and the subject was taken into custody. Police say a firearm was recovered."

Forest Park is easily the worst suburban CTA rail station in the system. There's always something going on there. There's a masculine lady always selling single cigarettes and she will argue and fight with anyone else that tries to do the same. There's always someone asking to get tapped on( pay for them to ride). More often than not there's a canine unit there. Think of a less crowded 95th Street Station. I'm not surprised by this.

Last, first, the various reports were that the shootings occurred in the train car, but the victims were discovered when the train stopped in the station. On Forest Park itself, the mayor said they need outside help, because it is the only suburb with 2 major CTA terminals. However, I'm sure that 90% of the Harlem Green Line station is in Oak Park. But obviously, Forest Park can't handle the situation at the Blue Line station, but they seemed to do better than what CPD does (as I implied in my "oddity" comment).

Forest Park has three stations, Forest Park and Harlem on the Blue Line and the Harlem entrance to the Harlem station on the Green Line. While the main entrance and the majoriry of the Green Line station is in Oak Park, anything related to that station draws a response from the Forest Park police in addition to the Oak Park police . I haven't personally seen River Forest Police participate in anything related to that station since it also borders Oak Park. Interesting that the Oak Park Police outpost inside the station is hardly ever manned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently all of the victims were said to be asleep at the time they were shot, implying they are homeless people riding the trains all night long. Apparently we won't know the name of the guy arrested until he's charged in court later this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try not to venture east of the train station at Howard and definitely not north of Howard east of the tracks. That pocket from Howard to Janeway and from the tracks to Sheridan is especially bad. Walking along Howard west if there hasn't been an issue for me, but I'm not willing to try my luck after dark Walking from the station to Ridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18thalek Posted September 4 Report Share Posted September 4 hey everyone, at Jefferson park I noticed the local bus routes such as 81W 68 85A and 88 seem to interline with one another, as in: when I'm at the station it seems theres a predictable pattern as to what a 81W will become upon discharging passengers. Does anyone know what the actual pattern is? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
