  • no I just thought it was pretty funny that you called the EL old fashioned

    the trains are new (even though the orange line derailed a few months ago) lol

  • Ok, sorry, I din't know, but I'm used to European public transport which seems much more modern, so I thought that u were keeping the old trains and the infrestructure because it was typical, because it's quite noisy, dirty and remind of Chinese or Latin American public transport

  • You OBVIOUSLY are not from chicago

  • And u OBVIOUSLY don´t have to be a detective to realize that. I am, OBVIOUSLY a European tourist (u can see it just by clicking my nick). But, why do u say that? Is something wrong? Chicagoans dont film in their own city?

  • actually chicago is a very commercial city. All we do is take pictures and video of the community. I apprieciate you posting this vid. Yeah the cars are older than that of europe, but they also serve a different purpose. And the city has different priorites than european cities. Im sure you are very well aware of that.

  • I Love Chicago!!!

  • @IBMeddling ...I'm from England, and I could have just stayed on the El all day when i visited Chicago...it's a fantastic way to get in and out of the city, and good fun!

  • @Jaimegmar ppl in Chicago are too busy and too cool to film stuff like this. I cant wait til Im done with school to moveeeee!!!

  • Those are the 2200's. Built by Budd in 1969, first stainless steel cars for CTA, and the last with folding "Blinker" doors. They are now 40 years old and still running.

  • why would it have to go much faster you twat? It stops every 3 mins! LOL

  • Definitely agree with people who say it's old fashioned. I love Chicago and have been there countless times but the 'L' simply looks like a joke to European metros like Madrid, which I've ridden. After all, the CTA is dying for funding, it's no secret. Sad, but true.

  • That was actually a Pink Line train. It is the newest route, but it uses some of the oldest rolling stock that the CTA has.

  • Here in NYC they are replacing the old cars with new ones. You can't stand in the first car and look out the window anymore unless an old train pulls in.
