Welcome to the yellow line, aka the Skokie Swift. It has exactly 3 stops spread across only 5 miles and yet still has the title of shortest CTA line robbed from here by the purple line during non-express hours. It is the least used line in the system, and while it’s suited for for cars, it typically only runs two per train.

It is without a doubt my favorite line for those reasons—it’s just my pathetic fucked up little guy, y’know—as well as its view, which the shitty timelapse below does not do justice, and the fact that it got me away from a guy who is following me once.

I’ve thought about actually making a skokie-swift-official, in part because it’d be funny and in part out of genuine love and appreciation for this creature

Better timelapse again bc tumblr ate it up to never be seen again the first time

I’ll get some shots out the side window the next time i have a chance to ride it (which is luckily fairly regularly bc it’s convenient for my commute)

Did you know they discontinued service in 1948 and the stations stood abandoned until the CTA resumed service in January 1963?
