== Rolling stock == The Green Line is operated with the [[Bombardier Transportation|Bombardier]]-built [[5000-series (CTA)|5000-series]] railcars. The 5000-series cars officially began running on the Green Line on July 1, 2012, after the Pink Line became fully equipped with the new cars. As additional 5000-series cars were assigned to the Green Line, the remaining [[2400-series (CTA)|2400-series]] cars were reassigned to the [[Red Line (CTA)|Red]], [[Purple Line (CTA)|Purple]] and [[Orange Line (CTA)|Orange Lines]] to finish their service lives. Occasionally, [[2600-series (CTA)|2600-series]] and [[3200-series (CTA)|3200-series]] railcars were used on the Green Line, though these were loaned from the Blue, Brown, and Orange Lines, and only when the Green Line was short on cars. With the 5000-series cars now completely equipping the Green Line fleet after the last of the 2400-series cars were reassigned in mid-May 2013, the borrowing of 2600-series cars and 3200-series cars is no longer necessary. The Green Line was the second line to be fully equipped with the 5000-series cars, following the [[Pink Line (CTA)|Pink Line]]. Frequently, the Green and Pink Lines borrow each other's cars when either line is short on cars. Trains operate using six cars full time as of 2020.
