While cars 5011-12 undergo midday testing on Track 1, a Red Line train of 2600-series cars led by car 2707 pulls up next to the prototype cars at Bryn Mawr station on October 20, 2009, providing a nice comparison between the workhorse of CTA's rapid transit fleet and their newest modest railcar.

Although most of the "L" would stay running through and after the blizzard of February 2011, the snow would eventually accumulate to approximately 21 inches and due to blowing snow and substantial drifts that accumulated on the ground-level right-of-way, Yellow Line service was annulled on February 2. Service resumed on February 4, 2011, the same day car 2896 can be seen leading a 2-car train crossing Niles Center Road. Note the snow build-up on the front chains, coupler, and anti-climber.

As the driving snow blows across the right-of-way, an 8-car Red Line train of 2600-series cars makes its way around the curve east of Sheridan station on its way to Howard on the morning of February 2, 2011 The streets were largely impassible and deserted, but nearly all of the "L" system continued operating.

A four-car Pink Line train of 2600-series cars passes through the Tower 18 interlocking on its way into the Loop in this view looking west on November 30, 2011. A group of CTA signal maintainers is on the tracks next to the train. The interlocking tower was relatively new, brought into service only about a year and a half before. (Photo by Graham Garfield)
