cta2222b.jpg (174k) This striking view of a westbound train -- the Pink Line is the only route that the CTA refers to as operating east- and westbound; as in standard railroad parlance, all other routes are referred as being north- and southbound regardless of actual cardinal direction -- shows car 2222 bringing up the rear of a Pink Line consist that is about to turn from the Lake branch onto the Paulina Connector through Paulina Junction on July 3, 2006.

The 2200-series cars, which make up half of the 44 cars assigned to the Pink Line, are only used when 4-car service is operated on the route. Otherwise, only 2600-series cars are used.
