To celebrate Pride Month, the CTA will once again roll the Pride Train into service to celebrate the dynamism and continuing evolution of the LGBTQ+ community. Celebrating its ninth anniversary, the train will begin service on the Red Line on Monday, June 1.
This year’s train features a new exterior design that uses bold, vertical waving stripes of color that cover the entirety of the eight-car train. The 2026 design continues to embrace the classic Pride Flag colors while also including colors representing LGBTQ+ people of color with black and brown stripes and the trans color trio.
The Pride Train continues CTA’s tradition of celebrating and supporting Chicago’s LGBTQ+ community while creating a welcoming and vibrant experience for riders throughout Pride Month.
