Ride the Rails: Red Line 95th Time-lapse (2025)

CTA's Ride the Rails Real-time Collection:    • Playlist   CTA's Ride the Rails Time-lapse Collection:    • Playlist   Ever wonder what it would be like to see Chicago as if you were a CTA train operator? In 2014, the Chicago Transit Authority released its most popular video series, “Ride the Rails,” a collection of videos highlighting CTA’s eight rail lines, each seen from the perspective of the rail operator. Since its release, “Ride the Rails” has garnered nearly 9 million views worldwide. In celebration of the completion of the Red Purple Modernization Project, where a section of 100+ old track and four stations were rebuilt, we are proud to publish three new videos for the Purple Line and Red Line. Once again, hop aboard and enjoy the ride!
