CTA Ride the Rails: Red Line to 95th/Dan Ryan 

Chicago will always be my home!!!!

Nice boost of nostalgia for a route I miss...could have been standing at the Sox/35th platform on this day. Thank you CTA!

I love these videos. I've watched the one for the Brown line many times. You can see the building where I used to live just after you leave the Francisco station heading south. God, I'm homesick!

This is great. More lines please!

Brush off the haters, cta. The video and music are awesome. There's a reason even a transit video has 25,000+ views in a week.

Can't wait to see the brown line. :)

cool... reminds me of when I would ride the Red Line in MA (the 'MBTA' Braintree or Quincy into Boston) thanks for posting

Imagine the Red Line Actually Going That Fast! Order CTA Bullet Trains Now!

Never start a video with 1 minutes of words only. Its video - not a sheet of paper!

Very nice!

I did rode the entire Red Line from Howard to 95th / Dan Ryan! It took 1 hour and 12 minutes!

Eager to see Pink, Brown, Green & Purple lines, too.

Best music i heard

It is awesome.

Cta stations are fantastic

I have watched all your videos very nice I feel like could the CTA with no problem. Great music in all the videos is there any way you can tell me where I could find the music tracks you used.I love it great work.

Interesting thanks

Remember this train ride used to work on belmont.

Love it but the compression ruins HD! I'd love to see this at full quality!

Lets see a Blue Line one!

5:23 Washington (Closed in 2006)

7:04 here's my local stop! gotta get off and go to hyde park!

Thats on big station you guys in Chicago have! Wish Seattle would get a subway.

Yeah it's cool

Really appreciate this. Wish it could have included the actual train environment sounds instead of music.

You guys should do this one again, now that there's the new Wilson station and the new 95th street station. That would be a grand finale.

this seem cool

Why is Chicago different from New York, Toronto, Paris where there are usually hi-rise condos. or apts. near rapid transit stations. But in Chicago, once you get out beyond a certain point all I can see are low density buildings?

1:35 What happens to the engineer you see out there?

I love the music on that.

Grandville to belmont was my ride to work at ?????

If only the "L" really did move at 350 mph like it does in the video (though that would make things dicey up on the Loop...)

Should have used hyperlapse for these.

Make a purple line express

This was cool. I've ridden this line, but not that far out to either end. The south end of the trip was a bit bleak, riding between the two lanes of highway--doesn't seem the most intelligent place to put a train line, as train lines and highways tend to favor very different sorts of development (walking-oriented vs. car-oriented).

Washington is closed

This was a great video. After reading the comments, here are my comments, some about the comments: 1) The Music worked for this Red Line Video. The music especially compliment the tunnel light effects when going thru the subway portion of the line. I hope the future series of CTA EL line videos uses different musical genres with local musical talent. 2) BLUE JELLY BEAN, This video had to have been low cost to make. Just set up a camera, no real editing, add the soundtrack and then post it. I would think this was an intern that did this. 3) starklassik. I can agree with a hyperlapse video, in the future use two camera to create to videos, if it does not get in the way of the operator. 4) Graeginator I rode all the EL trains in one day!. 5) Recommend filming on the weekend with not track workers. 6) quartzy The "engineer" finished wiping his ass and went back to work. I look forward to :see the other lines' videos. Cheers

Hey guys, I love the idea but the quality is still poo. Can we get 1080p 60fps with a much higher bitrate, the artifacts are horrible!

This is 5000 seris cars i just know I JUST KNOW

I call fake on this one. Where are all the frantic riders trying to catch the train after tapping their #ventra card a dozen times at rush hour?

I'd prefer real time sound with stop announcements rather than canned music.

The music is horribly wrong for this subject. Otherwise cool effort. I'd do it with leaves on the trees. Also to be no people waiting..

who`s here in 2024?

I'd prefer real time speed.

From the view of the operator? How about cta does another video showing what it's like being a rider on this shit line? I ride this train literally everyday on the way to work anywhere from 3am to 1pm and it's literally a cesspool on rails. Surrounded by homeless people who literally harass you for anything from a quarter to a cigarette to whatever they can think of. Bed bugs on cars that you bring home then get the fun of getting rid of so bad I saw them crawling all over a homeless person. Crimes such as robbery, stabbings, and even murder and rape are commonplace and nothing is done. Smells terrible like human feces and garbage. Even saw a car with human shit smeared over every inch of the car. Chicago is disgusting not the city I used to love. Can't wait to get enough money to leave and never come back.

what's with all the guys standing around in safety vests not doing anything? glad it's not my tax money paying their salary

Metra NEEDS to do this. This is why CTA is amazing and Metra sucks. Another reason is that CTA is FAST with their trains, while Metra is SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW as CRAP!

a terrible song

Went too fast--,missed all the miles of graffiti that Chicago is famous for, plus the bums and beggars in the subway. and missed all the pickpockets and sundry sellers on the train.

This music was terrible, is Chicago trying to relive Europe in the '90's?
