I think they will test on the eight lines, since the 5000 series tested on all 8 of the lines, that means the 7000 series could be doing the same thing. Quote
Mr.NewFlyer1051 Posted September 8, 2020 Report Posted September 8, 2020 enjoy!!!? (Credits: to someone from a facebook group) 2 Quote

No reason that the last pair can't be turned to face forward or backwards. Even worse, the CTA will take those pairs out of some cars to allow space for the ice melting equipment, when they could install seats that flip up. Quote
nazim uddin Posted September 9, 2020 Report Posted September 9, 2020 Can I hear a loud moving noise and the other noise of that new railcar? Quote

chicagocubs6323 Posted October 8, 2020 Report Posted October 8, 2020 The 7000s are another step closer to running in passenger service. They were testing at Bryn Mawr today. 6 Quote
geneking7320 Posted October 8, 2020 Report Posted October 8, 2020 Did the lights flicker like that to your eyes or was that a function of your camera? Quote

Gonna take a shot in the dark and say it’s an unlock feature. Like when operators walk to a closed train with a key and unlock a door for themselves to walk in and set themselves up Quote
BusHunter Posted October 12, 2020 Report Posted October 12, 2020 I was tracking down a few dates of the timeline of when the new #5000 series, were being tested at Bryn Mawr and when they went into in service testing on the lines. The #5000s were tested at Bryn Mawr 10/20/09 and the first in service testing was in April of 2010, so we may have 6 months to wait until we can see these cars in action at the public level. Was reading a little about the manufacturing process. The shells are made in China sent over on a boat to the US porting at either Houston or LA. I know LA has a big customs outfit for imports out there. Never heard about Houston before. Anyway the shells are then transported on flatbed trucks to the south side CRRC plant where the assembly happens. Some components are american in the cars some Chinese. It seems like a big process just getting the shells here. I like the colored ends I hope CTA does not nix that from future orders. Quote
