Ride the Rails in Real-time: • CTA's Ride the Rails: Real-time (2019)
Ride the Rails in Time-lapse: • CTA's Ride the Rails: Time-lapse (2019)
The CTA has more than 224 miles of railroad tracks across Chicago and surrounding suburbs, serving the agency's eight rail lines. In an average weekday, there are about 2,200 train trips making stops at the system's 145 rail stations. For more than 100 years, the 'L' has offered a unique perspective of Chicago.
In the first-ever documentation of its kind, the CTA has created a real-time ride along the length of each rail line. Shot in HD, you can now experience the 'L' like never before from the vantage point of the rail operator. You can even transfer between lines.
Hop aboard, and enjoy the ride.

I feel like every transit agency should do this.

Every time I see two trains passing each other, whether in this video, on my model railroad club's layout, or elsewhere, I imagine they're saying something like this:
"Morning, Charles."
"Morning, Frank."

There is also an entire walkable tunnel network for the winters to avoid the freezing wind and ice. I worked there and didn’t know about it until I got off the train once and wondered where all the passengers on the train went because I was the only one walking the streets. So the next day I followed everyone and they all went downstairs into a warm tunnel! It was like another city! Shops and bars and cafes and restaurants. I found my way to my office building and since then never walked street level again in the winter. I’d buy my favorite cookies on the way home too. What a time I had in Chicago. My favorite American city. It’s a gem and I want to live there again.

Real journey experience from the comforts of home !

I like these videos for a lot of different reasons. It's relaxing, the video and sound quality are excellent. Then there's the pure engineering aspect; the math required to fit between buildings, the amount of cement and steel required to build something on this scale, the resources required to maintain this level of service. It's all pretty amazing to me.

Those elevated tracks are just awesome, very impressive, there is no city like Chicago by that means. Really enjoyed it.

I never realized that 'commuting' in Chicago Land from my easy chair here in Houston could be this fun!

Very neat idea of the Chicago Transit Authority to post these videos.

This video is a railfan's paradise. The ride along Belt and seeing all the rolling stock, green line trains and circling the Loop. Not to mention a smooth, fast ride especially with 2.0 speed settings. Great video!!

I Loooove the ORANGE LINE, I love the ORANGE LINE when I'm on the HOLIDAY TRAIN.

As a Chicagoan that's both been to New York and watched many of the NYC subway's videos, our city is so much cleaner and less tagged up.

Your service employees are so brave, I really admire them.

If there's something I've been doing sometimes since 2016 is watching all these "CTA Ride the Rails" while listening to the "SimCity 3000" soundtrack in the background. It's relaxing, and the Chicago Loop is really a beautiful part of the city. I hope I'll see it by myself someday. Cheers from São Paulo, Brazil.

It would be fun to watch this in snow or rain.

For years I have dreamed of riding all the CTA lines everyday... Thank you for granting that wish. I would appreciate a Purple Line express video, and the ability to transfer to trains...My Android doesn't allow it.

CTA reminds me of TV series "Kolchak" and "Chicago" (rock band).
