CTA Brown Line trains are seen crossing the North Branch of the Chicago River between Rockwell and Francisco Stations on a sunny winter morning in Chicago, Illinois. The inbound and outbound CTA trains are traveling over the at-grade portion of the Brown Line that runs (from east to west) between Rockwell and the terminus of the Brown Line at Kimball. The trains consist of a mixture of 2600-series cars and 3200-series cars. | Trainiac Productions

A Kimball-bound CTA Brown Line train descends down to grade level after departing Western Station on the sunny morning of November 2, 2025. Operating as an elevated route from the Loop to Western, the Brown Line lowers to ground level between Western and Rockwell Stations. It then remains at-grade through the Francisco and Kedzie stops and in to its terminus at Kimball. | Trainiac Productions

POV: You’re on an outbound CTA Brown Line train as it departs Paulina Station, swings across the Metra UP-N Line, and then arrives at Addison Station. A fresh blanket of snow had just fallen overnight and into the early morning. Despite the sunny skies, the snow hasn’t yet melted away and you enjoy the contrast of bright snow against the last of the vibrant autumn foliage. Chicago is great. | Trainiac Productions
