    Ride the Rails in Real-time: • CTA's Ride the Rails: ...
    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 real-time 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.

    I have been riding the "L" since the 1960's and it still amazes me!...What a system and how much work and effort has gone into the building and maintaining this great system.

    I watched 2 versions of this run, and both have their merits. There was a change in the status of 2 stations. In the older one, the Cermak/McCormick Place station was under construction, and the Madison/Wabash station was open. In the newer, the Cermak/McCormick Place station was completed and open while the Madison/Wabash station was closed for reconstruction. In the older one, they had to wait for another train before entering the loop. This newer one has a problem with raindrops hitting the windshield. There is a freight train beside on the railroad grade in both versions. Those junctions at the corners of the loop are quite impressive.

    Should really place some higher level banister rails on the EL station platforms. They seem rather low and dangerous. Other than that great video. Wish New York City still had Elevated train lines in downtown...

    I have so many questions and I hope CTA will answer them. First, I must disclose that I'm from NYC. Now here are my questions:
    - Why do some lines have four cars and some lines have seven?
    - Why are the platforms long when the length of the train doesn't match the length of the platforms?
    - Is the distance between L stops by design, it seems like the stations are far apart?
    - Are there any express service not tied to AM-PM rush hour like here in NYC?
    - Does the L run 24 hrs like NYC subways?
    I really enjoy watching these videos.

      ike peters Green line runs 4-6 depending on if it’s rush hour or not and The blue,Red,Purple and brown lines run 8 cars for the ridership numbers

    • @thehal
      @thehal 5 років тому +1

      Purple cannot run 8 car trains, they run 6 max due to short platforms in Evanston.

      Chicago L stations at one point were 2 blocks apart; to compete with streetcars that stopped every block. In the 40s the CTA took control but they lacked government subsidies. They responded by closing many stations and lighter used lines. This greatly sped up the painfully slow L service. There are large gaps however in some lines because of this.

    Our new light rail transit system in the works here in Calgary is also called the green line, and I hope we will get it as smooth and level this time for 2023 or so!

  • @agems56
    @agems56 2 роки тому +1

    Our Calgary engineers need to study this system in how to build a smooth set of tracks! From day one in 1981 ours are too rough to take video like this without shaking all over the place! Today it's still like that!

    All of these videos are wonderful!!! I rode the trains in NY for over 20 years and thought they had it going on, but now i must say that i've been humbled. I have a couple of questions. 1. Why are the stations so long? Why do the trains open up fast but then slow down so often? Are there many derailments because of all of those extremely sharp turns? Why do the trains make so much squeaking noise when they go at a high of speed? Thank you. : > )

    I am a former resident of Chicago, but was thoroughly confused by the colors of the various lines. I used to get on the Green Line at 51st St and ride it when it went underground and magically became The Subway. When did that change? You should include a color coded map of the system for us who have been away for a long time and fr us who have never been in Chicago. That City has changed a lot.

      the subway part you're talking about is now part of the red line, which runs from Howard St to 95th St at the Dan Ryan Expressway.
      though, recently because of construction there have been some red line trains which run from Howard to Ashland/63rd along the old track connection which the line used to use to come up out of the subway and onto the South Side El

    • @packr72
      @packr72 5 років тому +2

      1993 was when the colors were adopted. Dan Ryan trains were routed through a new subway to a connection with the state st subway and the north side L creating the Red Line. The Jackson Park/Englewood lines were connected to the Lake St line to form the Green Line.

    Straight after 35th-Bronzeville the train enters a strange tube which is obviously there either to protect the train from what's outside, or what's outside from the train. What is it?

    • @michaelbrinkers1145
      @michaelbrinkers1145 5 років тому

      Perhaps someone from the area knows. I used to live in the area and rode this train regularly around the late 60's, and this structure was not there then. This is in the area of the campus of the Illinois Institute of Technology, so the structure might be some tech student's futuristic "dream" (or "nightmare") of time-motion-space continuums. I don't think it has any adverse psychological effects on riders passing through it (like the A-Bomb testings in the desert).

    Umm the cta elevated lines are a little unsafe because there’s not much space for the workers to work on the tracks,in New York City the elevated lines have enough room for the workers to do work on tracks,which means trains have to go slow.

    • @plushifoxed
      @plushifoxed 5 років тому +1

      Alex The mta and r179,r211 fan when work has to be done on these 2-track elevated lines, they send the trains on a single track between certain points on the line and do the work in sections. that way the safety of the workers is preserved

    • @michaelbrinkers1145
      @michaelbrinkers1145 5 років тому

      As a long-time Chicagoan, I don't ever recall hearing about any fatalities/major accidents regarding track workers, on the elevated/subway sections. But, almost every week, local news report transit delays as a result of some idiot walking/stumbling onto the tracks (drunk, drugs, depression?), or "police" activity. At least according to your NYC train videos, based on the graffiti, your track-travelers have artistic aspirations!
