CHICAGO HEAVY RAIL
Pink Cars Above

The opening of the Pink Line brought with it something of a CTA visual and media blitz.  Entire cars were painted in a fairly shocking pink -- a sight that could not likely have been imagined not all that long ago.  A printed pamphlet describing train and bus changes was readily available, with text in English, Spanish and Polish.  The new "Bus & Rail Map" featured a pink ribbon on its cover.

The newly-repainted train in this scene is heading south over Wabash, near the Randolph station.
