    Ride the Rails in Time-lapse: • CTA's Ride the Rails: ...
    The CTA has more than 224 miles of railroad tracks across Chicago and surrounding suburbs, serving the agency's eight rail lines. In an average weekday, there are about 2,200 train trips making stops at the system's 145 rail stations. For more than 100 years, the 'L' has offered a unique perspective of Chicago.
    In the first-ever documentation of its kind, the CTA has created a ride along the length of each rail line. Shot in HD, you can now experience the 'L' like never before from the vantage point of the rail operator. You can even transfer between lines.
    Hop aboard, and enjoy the ride.

    Man... I remember riding to Howard all the time, and the screaming the train made going top-speed on that long stretch between Clark and North/Clybourn. Hell of a ride down there.

    That was great !!! Thank you very much for the video. I rode what was then either an A or B train from Howard to Monroe and then back again five days each week from the mid-fifties to 1970, when I moved from Chicago to Idaho. There weren't even any buses in Idaho, so I had to learn to drive a car in order to get back and forth to work and the grocery store. That was a whole new experience and I really did miss the 'el'.

    I like how on multiple occasions while I was riding, as the doors were opening, the intercom “said door closing” and they would shut. Barely giving people a chance to get on, but somehow everyone got on.

    Hey CTA, why is Washington on the red line closed?

    • @BoratWanksta
      @BoratWanksta 6 років тому +2

      Washington on the Red Line closed, since the transfer tunnel between the Red and Blue Line was shuttered. It also had to do with the construction of the Block 37 express superstation for express trains to O'Hare, which never was completed and mothballed by the CTA sadly. From what I've heard, sadly it doesn't seem like the CTA will ever restart that project. You can still walk through what used to be the Washington Red Line platform, from either the Lake or Monroe stops! Since that is a long and extended subway platform, between Lake and Jackson.

Now I'm fascinated with the CTA system that I hope to see and ride in person! I'm a railfan but specifically urban subways, light rail, trolleys and buses and commuter railways as well! Can't wait to ride the El through the Loop! Hold on, Chicago, I'm coming! Please stand clear of the closing doors!!

    Jackson - Michael Jackson
    Harold Washington Library - Harold
    Harrison - Harrison

    • @briansivley2001
      @briansivley2001 9 років тому +1

      They are but it's because they're at some places over 100 years old. But some stations have been renovated recintly like Loyola just finished a renovation about a year ago and Wilson is getting one right now and it's including a new station house and they're going to have a elevator. Also the Red Line goes on some of the oldest railway tracks in Chicago some places is over a 100 years old and way past their intended life cycle so the CTA is planning a huge renovations on both The Red and Purple Lines because both lines run on some of the oldest tracks in our city and for example if you wanted to go to Ryan Field to see The Northwestern Wildcats play and you were in a wheelchair you would either have to get off at either Davis in downtown evanston or at howard and at either station transfer to The CTA Bus 201 to go the rest of the way or take Metra Union Pacific North Line to Central Evanston and go the rest of the way being it's close to the station. But both Red and Purple Lines are in desperate need of extreme renovations. The Tracks on them have so many slow zones that the trains can't go on the intended speeds that they're supposed to run so the renovation the CTA is planning will help hugely being The Red Line is the most ridden line in the system.

      DekkasTrains It is a long tunnel with many stations close together because that part is under the Loop which is a very busy section of the city so it makes sense to have many stations close together there. It is needed trust me I know. My understanding is it is famous due to the set up as the longest Subway station on earth and for being so unique and it has free transfer tunnels to another Subway on the next block over with a similar set up
