CTA HD 60fps: 5000 Series Red & Purple Line Express Trains Between Howard & Belmont (2/11/19)

[@8avexp]

In the olden days, it was the Evanston Express and the 4000s. I remember asking my aunt (who passed away a week before this video was shot) if we could ride on it, to which she replied, "It doesn't stop anywhere!" In those days, Evanston Expresses ran nonstop from Howard to Merchandise Mart. Those switches at Berwyn were there for years. I'll bet they were put in so that North Shore trains operating on the outer tracks could stop there to pick up or discharge guests at the Edgewater Beach Hotel. The signs at Berwyn used to say, "Berwyn-Edgewater Beach."

55 pass in the snow, looks awesome. Only if the MTA let the trains hit 55 when able....

I dont mean to be so off topic but does anybody know a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb forgot my account password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me

[@vrysta4]

The 7 can do 55 MPH if an operator has the balls to

[@8avexp]

The MTA has adopted a, "You'll get there - eventually" slogan.

Watching the express trains blow through is so cool! Every time I visit Chicago I try to catch the express train!

[@lamargoat2.054]

There's also express trains in nyc

[@lauryfire4828]

Cta trains sound like the NYC R179 Subway cars

[@micahelijah6443]

Laury Fire correct!

[@Jackyliu009]

Thank you for the historical vibes of the Lawrence-Bryn Mawr stations before RPM takes them over.

[@SydeLeaderRay]

That Purple Line express is fun! The fastest I ever rode a vehicle. I have video of it but haven't done anything with it. Edit: I might make my own Rail fan channel. IDK.

[@milwaukee1486]

The red line is also fast when its the sate street subway

[@benjamin1032]

The MARTA system goes at 70 mph for the most part

[@vehicleman1]

pretty cool that a part of this video was shot in my neighborhood

[@transitmallproductions1063]

I love 2600s, 3200s and 5000s more than any other rapid transit vehicles.

These trains look like if the SEPTA MFL and BSL had a baby

You never seen any subway stations like that in New York City, especially on an elevated platform.

[@8avexp]

Back in the day, the R-10s would rip past 81st St. n/b at full speed. You'd see a blur of teal and white.
