CTA Purple Line Belmont to Howard 4/18/2024 Rear POV

[@8avexp]

The old Evanston Express, with extra stops. They used to run non-stop between Howard and Merchandise Mart.

7:14 Location of original and future Lawrence 7:37 location of original and permanent Argyle 8:10 location of Berwyn 8:46 nice to see how far construction on the permanent Bryn Mawr has gone

[@SydeLeaderRay]

Love the fact the new infrastructure is being used for Purple Line Express trains. Are you able to do the Forest Park Branch? I haven't seen one video yet showing the progress of its Rebuild.

Why is the express on local tracks by the Addison station and how can it be express when track is shared

[@BullWithHumor]

The other tracks are in construction and are not ready yet

[@JoeyLovesTrains]

Ngl, I’m surprised that Wilson is an express stop, and not Addison.

[@AmyLExtraordinaire]

that's mostly just because belmont is one station south and serves the brown line too, as much as the cubs overwhelm addison on game days, its a pretty average station ridership wise on other days, wheras wilson and uptown generally are very dense with a pretty big entertainment scene

That’s Only A Few Stops On The CTA Purple Line From Belmont To Howard😯😮🟣🚞🚉!!!

[@AmyLExtraordinaire]

yeah it's considered an express train the entire way, with all of the construction is not quite as fast but before it used to be faster than metra (regional rail) from Howard to downtown
