I remember how I was always riding the Blue Line. I would do it every day.

Looks like there were trains short-turning at Rosemont that were captured in this video.

trying to figure out why, where, how green line train gets into the Dearborn subway... (63 Ashland)

[@chicago-l9125]

Maybe I didn't understand your question right, but Green Line trains don't operate via the Dearborn or State Street subways. The Green Line is 100% elevated from the west side terminus in Oak Park to the south side terminuses at 63rd / Ashland and Cottage Grove - 63rd.

I think the rollsigns just failed to hook up and the operator didn’t notice. It’s a 2600 trainset, which don’t run on the green line anyway.

@@chicago-l9125 You’re half-right. There is no way a Green Line Train (coming up from Ashland/63rd or Cottage Grove) northbound can end up in the Blue Line (Dearborn-Milwaukee Ave. Subway.) However, northbound Green Line Trains most certainly CAN end up going into the State Street Subway(Red Line), using the 13th Street Portal! That is also why the Red Line can go “Over the top” on the Loop when there’s an issue in the State Street Subway.
