The interior of one of the new 7000-series CTA rail cars on the Blue Line toward Forest Park on April 21, 2021. Distinguishing the 7000-series from the rest of the CTA rail fleet are its bold, blue end caps; new layout of headlights and taillights; as well as a redesigned interior featuring a new seating configuration that includes a mix of forward-facing and aisle-facing seats.
