CTA Blue Line - 5000-Series Announcements From Racine to Jefferson Park

[@keyshawnscott12]

This is a blue line train to Jefferson park

[@lantarigamer5036]

I wish we had more train services like this in Chicago

[@Jackyliu009]

Bring back the Blue Line Douglas Branch service!

[@bkark0935]

@@Jackyliu009 I totally agree with you, but only as a rush hour express to and from Jefferson Park.
I cannot decide which Pink stops the Douglass Express 5000 trains should continue to skip, on its way to the Loomis Incline?
Starting the run at 54th makes sense, as it is the terminal…though one can argue the Douglass Express should also stop at Cicero, Pulaski, Western, & Polk.

[@lantarigamer5036]

@@Jackyliu009 I think a transfer station at IMD between Pink and Blue would be good.

[@Jackyliu009]

Yeah, but wouldn't the Jefferson Park runs alleviate overcrowding along the Blue Line? These serve as additional trips that the Congress branch cannot handle due to the lack of traction power and poor track conditions.

[@bkark0935]

@@Jackyliu009 These are proposed stops only along the Pink line (along the Douglass branch;) these trains wouldn’t go along the Congress Branch (past Paulina) at all.
Are you saying that track conditions are so bad between the Paulina Ramp and UIC-Halstead that the 5000 trains are required to run empty?

[@missourielevators9252]

Can you do the Pace bus route announcements too I like those

[@jaemartin4732]

I think the bad track conditions is why the 5000s were only used for rush hour and really made the 3200s go to the blue line from midway?

[@Jackyliu009]

Well yes the bad track conditions is why 5000s and 7000s are sometimes used, but other than that it can handle at most any of the 2600s and 3200s.

[@Truewinner112]

Orange line goes to midway

[@Zions_Awesome_YouTube_Show6381]

U skipped UIC Halsted between Racine and Clinton

[@Jackyliu009]

Doesn't matter. UIC-Halsted isn't included in the announcement program.

[@SeanMasterPlayzYT]

I’m gonna use this annoucment for my friends game

[@Jackyliu009]

Go on

[@MatthewBluefox]

This train didn't go all the way to O'Hair?

[@venlol5055]

Yes but they have some trains that stop at Jefferson Park instead of O'Hare. I don't know why but yea.
