CTA Ride the Rails: Purple Line to Linden in real-time

 

[VIDEO] The CTA L trains have always fascinated me and just think there's still planning to not only maintain the system as the current major project is taking place on what they would call the north side mainline between Howard and Wilson which is where the Red & Purple Line Express runs.

The L not only allows people travel within the city, they allow people to commute to the suburbs and as you see here the CTA L goes into Evanston, IL - home of Northwestern University. For the next twelve mins. this video will take you along the route of the CTA Purple Line Shuttle between Howard and Linden. This actual video was recorded in 2015.

If you know nothing of the Purple Line - colored because of Northwestern University who's sports teams are known for wearing purple, white, and black - in addition to running regular service between Howard and Linden they run rush-hour express service into the Loop during the week.

This video only shows the portion that runs within the City of Evanston.
