Editing Orange Line (CTA) (section)

==Rolling stock==
The Orange Line is operated with [[2600-series (CTA)|2600-series]] cars. From November 8, 2012, to October 31, 2014, some [[2400-series (CTA)|2400-series]] railcars were assigned to the line. From the opening of the route to October 2018, [[3200-series (CTA)|3200-series]] railcars were assigned to the line. Trains operate using eight cars during weekday rush hours and four cars during other times on weekdays and all day on weekends except for special events when eight cars may be required.

Beginning in June 2014, CTA began to transfer some 2600-series cars to the line as an interim replacement for its 2400-series cars. The first batch of the Orange Line's 2600-series cars are reassignments from the [[Blue Line (CTA)|Blue Line]]. The lost capacity on the Blue Line was made up from reassignment of newer 2600-series cars from the [[Red Line (CTA)|Red Line]], as they were displaced by the new [[Bombardier Transportation|Bombardier]]-built [[5000-series (CTA)|5000-series]] cars on the Red Line. The second batch of 2600-series cars are reassignments from the Red Line as more 5000-series cars were delivered and assigned to the Red Line, replacing the Orange Line's remaining 2400-series cars until the Red Line was fully equipped with the 5000-series cars. The last 2400-series cars were retired from service in October 2014.

After the Red Line was fully equipped with the 5000-series cars, the CTA planned on replacing the Orange Line's 2600-series cars with the 5000-series cars, leaving only the Blue and [[Brown Line (CTA)|Brown Lines]] as the only lines not to operate the 5000-series cars. However, the assignment of 5000-series cars to the Orange Line is now unlikely, since delivery of all 5000-series cars is complete and are completely assigned to all other lines except for the Blue and Brown Lines, thus the assignment of 2600-series cars to the Orange Line is now a permanent assignment until the delivery of the new [[7000-series (CTA)|7000-series]] cars.

Beginning September 2018, CTA began to transfer the Orange Line's 3200-series cars to the Blue Line. As of October 2018, the 3200-series cars no longer operate on the Orange Line.
