==Rolling stock== The Red Line is operated with the [[Bombardier Transportation|Bombardier]]-built [[5000-series (CTA)|5000-series]] railcars. From 2012 until October 2013, the Red Line was operated with the [[2400-series (CTA)|2400-series]] cars, during weekday rush hours, and from 1993 until 2015, the Red Line was operated with the [[2600-series (CTA)|2600-series]] cars. As the 5000-series cars were delivered, the Red Line's 2600-series cars were transferred to other lines to replace the 2400-series cars. From October 2013 until April 2014, several of the Red Line's 2600-series cars were transferred over to the [[Purple Line (CTA)|Purple Line]] as they were displaced on the Red Line by the 5000-series cars. Beginning in June 2014, CTA began to transfer the 2600-series cars from the Red Line over to the [[Blue Line (CTA)|Blue Line]] due to them being newer than the existing Blue Line cars. The Blue Line's older 2600-series cars were transferred to the [[Orange Line (CTA)|Orange Line]] as an interim replacement for its 2400-series cars. Beginning in October 2014, CTA started transferring some of the Red Line's 2600-series cars to the Orange Line, replacing the Orange Line's remaining 2400-series cars until the Red Line was fully equipped with the 5000-series cars.
