New CTA 5000-series 'L' Cars at Jackson

[myrickstargames]

Why are stations so long? its probably the length of probably 8 to 10 average 75ft long NYC subway cars

[Nachtwolf1]

@myrickstargames The platform in the State Street Subway is a continuous so that three (originally four) actual train stops share the same, very long, platform. This is so that no matter which aboveground entrance a passenger enters at, all they have to do is walk in either direction down the platform to get to a station. I think this was partly to let people avoid the nasty winters in Chicago by walking below ground instead of on the street, to get to their train.

@pokestar9 train or line?

[Pokestar9]

@ABilly05 Ah, both!

[Pokestar9]

[Nachtwolf1]

@Pokestar9 Yes

[Pokestar9]

@Nachtwolf1 cool! i never been in chicago, but i already wanna ride the awsome, what's the subway in Chicago called?

[Andrew1224gd]

@Pokestar9 The "El"

the whole city is divided into different colored train lines blue line, pink link, green line, brown line, red line,etc

[Pokestar9]

@Andrew1224gd Pink link? What's that?

[Andrew1224gd]

@Pokestar9 typo "pink line"

[Pokestar9]

@Andrew1224gd Oh yeah LOL! That's okay! :)

[ABilly05]

when these trains depart at 0:38, it reminds me of the R142's they have in NYC

[Pokestar9]

@ABilly05 thats true!

[crapper1]

thumbs up for the sparks 

[donzaliko]

these shittin trains are very old fashioned

america deserves more modern trains

[muz469]

@bibbs2014d LOL!! YEA RITE NYC SUBWAY IS THE BEST!! HOW COME THIS STATION IS LIKE TWICE IS LONGS AS THE TRAIN??!! THE TRAIN CANT EVEN FIT IT LOOKS SO SHORT COMPARED TO THE STATION! IN NYC ALL TRAINS FIT IN THE STATION PERFECTLY AND WE HAVE THE BEST SOUNDS AND EVERYTHING!

[XxLiLGiJoE17xX]

@muz469 lol yea boy u got that correct nothing can stop NYC we got the longest, fastest, cleanest...maybe not CLEANEST....and well organized subway in all of America!!! and yes the sounds are way louder and better that CTA....CTA is trying to be like NYC..................... trying.............

[Amtrak1194]

@XxLiLGiJoE17xX Chicago's subways run at up to 60 mph,

last I checked, NYCTA ran at only 45 mph,

may be the longest, but not fastest or cleanest subway in all of America...

[josephvanorsby78]

@muz469 because we r home of the longest subway platform that holds 4 stations, but that half at the was was a station but not anymore.

[pheonixltt]

@muz469 sounds like you like chicago considering ur watchen a video about our trains, an thats not the only subway station in the city theres ones alot bigger than that, dnt be so ignorant....

[AlgonquinRider810]

@bibbs2014d LIES

[FuenferBMW]

With the exception of the destination indicators, i can't see (hear) any difference. I do like the cta, but the noise of the vehicles is unbearable sometimes. I had been used to that youtube.com/watch?v=k0rIq4HAqA­M&feature=related, before i came here :-)

[bentbay1]

In Denmark we have no Subways, so I love to se your video.

[abisset1]

sounds like a Jubilee line train from the Underground.

[budd2200]

i like our new cars but just imagine if the 5000's had movia tech and were through gangway eight - four car sets NOW THAT would would be sick

[ShinHolyAyato]

sounds like Busan subway line 3 in South Korea

[kisscatman]

I built every one of those cabs. Bombardier Transportation--Plattsburgh NY

[ChariotMan5]

MTA Trains In NYC are Better!

[kingoftrains2000]

@ChariotMan5 The NYC Subway Is Better

[qwandiddy]

@kingoftrains2000 I live in Chicago and I'm 100% agree with you.

[ThaExpress2609]

Sounds exactly like the PATH train.
