CTA and Cubs Score!


The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) and the Cubs scored big time in recent days as the Cubs won its first World Series in 108 years and CTA carried thousands of enthusiastic fans to and from Wrigley Field. CTA revived one of its “classics” for the Fall Classic with this historic train—restored inside and out with its original markings, signs celebrating the season and slogans from legendary Chicago sportscasters Harry Caray and Jack Brickhouse. The railcars (built in 1976-1978) are part of CTA’s Heritage Fleet, a new program to preserve the agency’s historic vehicles. For more details, click here.  In anticipation of the Nov. 4 victory parade and rally, both CTA and Metra scheduled additional service to transport fans into and through downtown Chicago, and Pace Suburban Bus warned of possible route changes inside the city.
