== Rolling stock == The Brown Line is operated with the [[2600-series (CTA)|2600-series]] and [[3200-series (CTA)|3200-series]] railcars. The Brown Line operates using eight cars during weekday rush hours and four cars at other times. In the meantime, CTA has completed the process of overhauling the 3200-series cars with color [[LED]] destination signs (similar to the [[5000-series (CTA)|5000-series]] cars), new air conditioning systems, rebuilt propulsion systems, passenger door motors, and wheel/axle assemblies. The 3200-series rehabilitation began in 2015 and was completed in 2018. Later that year, some of the Brown Line's 3200-series cars were transferred to the [[Blue Line (CTA)|Blue Line]], with some of the Orange Line's 2600-series cars being transferred to the Brown Line. Beginning in March 2008, the Brown Line began running eight cars during rush hours, since all of the reopened or renovated stations have been rebuilt to accommodate eight cars.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20080228033631/http://www.transitchicago.com/news/ctaandpress.wu?action=displayarticledetail&articleid=125376 Press Release - Eight Car Service to Begin on Brown Line]. transitchicago.com.</ref> Prior to this, most stations on the line couldn't berth longer than six cars. Early morning, midday, late evening, and weekend service is generally provided by four cars, although this may be extended to eight cars due to special events and holidays.
