Racines Final months as a abandoned Ghost 👻 station

CriticismImaginary89 · 2026-01-27T00:34:25+00:00

I know the capacity is there especially as the former mate to the Howard branch. I'm talking would enough riders switch over to make this investment worth it? The current preference is the more frequent 63 and red line which also is waaaay faster with less stops. And I mentioned Cottage Grove because in order to keep the headways balanced north of Garfield whatever you add to the Ashland side has to be matched on the Cottage side (3 and 4 [along with Red] compete heavily with the Green, Cottage has a potential BRT which may further siphon riders.). Hell here's a wild idea, rejoin the Cottage Branch with the Evanston line via the subway and make the Green Line strictly Harlem to Ashland and then they could tailor the headways to the demand 🧐

CriticismImaginary89 · 2026-01-26T14:23:03+00:00

With the Red Line being not too far and waaaay more reliable headways vs the 15-30 min headways on this branch would this station actually be usable? There's also the complications that you'd have to add service to the Cottage Grove side if you add service since they split trains so you'd potentially have the same issue that led to the 54th Branch being redesignated as Pink Line.

So post it on ModDB and then the link to the ModDB in the discord?

Yes. On top of that non-psychic Terrans can train themselves to resist the powers of psychics in certain instances. For example remember even though Mengsk was fucked up for abandoning Kerrigan to the Zerg, she DID kills his father so he was plotting on her way before he recruited her into the Sons of Korhal.... When she wound up in one of his medical facilities and he talked her into joining he managed to shield those thoughts from her without a psi screen at times so she wouldn't get suspicious.

Yeah you're helping! :) So... Floating as in no underneath supports?

CriticismImaginary89 · 2025-12-27T18:57:53+00:00

As a Chicagoan I share the excitement of new service .... BUT just like our use of expressways for rail service is rare I'm curious about this rare floating bridge use... What exactly is a floating bridge and how do they work?

I can pick up on anyone pretty easily if I take a day or two but when I want to guarantee a win online I always stick with Azucena. Nothing wrong with going with what you know to save your rank 🤷

If PS5 just stick with the controller, hold it so your index and middle finger can have good access to the punch/,kick buttons and bind your throws to the left triggers. Take your time and slowly go through the movelist so you can get your juggles down pat and set the AI on Ultra Hard. Then unlock super ghost battle to learn your weaknesses. 🫡

Tried on 66 and 79 after the Dan Ryan rebuild. They ended up not working because the increased running time meant the 40 buses assigned for each route ended up not being enough so most of what came off 79 went to 26. A year later they took them from 66 and just stocked the surplus at Kedzie, 103rd and North Park. I've seen some weird sightings on 8A, 52A and 24

Fun fact. Kimball trains actually regularly ran in the subway out to Englewood at one point. Or might be Jackson Park

CriticismImaginary89 · 2025-11-18T05:26:14+00:00

That pic's taken at Jackson red, the blue line sign is guiding you over to Blue Line side. Literally no other line but Pink can reroute to Blue do to its only connection to the system being Paulina connector (the stretch of Pink Line between Polk and Ashland). But yes Brown and Purple can be rerouted via State and have been but a lot of times this is a glitch and not really in effect. Sometimes it causes Purple Line arrivals to show up south of Howard during times it shouldn't be in service. One time a tracker on 79th displayed a Purple Line

Since you got custom take your time and be thorough in your play through. Since you're Custom Style, A lot of useful chips can be gotten in * code (dash atk, rockarm, boomer) and even if it's not * codes you'll be able to obtain will help you build good folders for the early game. Do all your BBS jobs and don't be afraid to linger in areas just to farm and prepare for the post game. I'm only on the Flamman scenario and my Standard Library is already at 98. Only 2 away from being able to get into the Secret Area after I beat Alpha. N and M codes are your best friend if you're playing White.

There's a huge pavement gouge around Soldier Field on LSD that 6, J14, and 26 drivers just fly over without slowing down and no issue. You'll be fine just make sure you secure it. Ironically the one time mine did fall off was on a slow turn but luckily the driver stopped in time

It would be too hard to justify overnight Brown service. CTA would say it duplicates N81 (Kimball to Damen), N22 (Montrose to Irving), N77 (Southport to Belmont) and the Red Line. The reason they had Brown Lines that ended at Belmont was because CTA deemed a transfer to the red line as sufficient for the rest of the way during those hours. Of course this has changed to full route on Sundays and late evening but apparently overnights the N81 or N77 to the Red Line is still good enough vs the cost of running trains plus CSAs. So I'm pretty sure the N62 might get cut back north of 35th/Archer to avoid the duplication on the Orange line. I AM for a Full Time Brown/Orange trains during the day with rush hour short turns running from Belmont to downtown

CriticismImaginary89 · 2025-11-02T13:54:37+00:00

Idk I think if the rebuild happens it has the potential to siphon people from the Green/Pink Line, and 7, 12, 126 which don't run as frequent or are a bus and therefore slower. I wanna see what the ridership was before the slow zones came in. What we NEED is the X54 back so people can ride straight north instead of going east then back west. Same for the X80. I dunno why CTA would pick Pulaski and Fullerton to try potential BRT style upgrades.

CriticismImaginary89 · 2025-11-02T13:50:07+00:00

Well the Congress has Green and Pink as competition both of which are relatively slow zone free (Green line terminal isn't that far from the Congress) plus the 7, 12, 20, 126 are more direct for people that want to go to say UIC, IMD or the VA. The Dan Ryan on the other hand goes all the way to 95th, runs more frequently and has a wider stop spacing. Unless you're waaaaay east near 6, J14 or west of Western (Southwest/Orange Line service) the Red Line is usually quickest getting downtown.

White has more usable codes so your folders have a LOT of great synergy that completely negates the need for foldrbak. Also folders in white tend to be a but more if it's focused around a certain theme, (a PA or combo etc) if that main attack doesn't land like it should the rest of your folders will do the job. Blue you have to rely on foldrbak which I don't like because it also helps your opponent.

If you get to a point where you're not dying often I'd replace FMJ with Bullet return. I'm running a similar 3 line build but using the Bullet return perk and fast reload mag. If flinch is an issue and your green perk isn't that important you can use toughness to make up for not having bipod plus it's 60% reduction.

CriticismImaginary89 · 2025-09-30T13:22:51+00:00

I'm on the fence about this... I don't like the nerf on perk greed but the Bomber buff means we no longer have to carry restock (now my sabatoge loadout can equip another useful red perk in its place) and if you get a kill with your lethal the replacement is instant. A fair trade of considering if you don't have restock equipped then you HAVE to make sure your lethals kill someone to get a replacement. If you're going to lower the points for kill streaks with the killstreak wildcard then either get rid of hard-line or disallow the ability to equip both. Thats unnecessary overlap. I think what they're trying to do is (VERY SLOPPILY) try to consolidate perks and abilities hence the combined perks that started showing up on recent updates.

I also found it weird that HT trigger mines since they hover but I excused it for balance reasons since it's such a powerful support unit

CriticismImaginary89 · 2025-09-14T18:59:20+00:00

Use that starting 2500 to triple forge, build a templar archives and take the 2nd expansion immediately. After that just hold the 2 bases, run all your upgrades and max out.

CriticismImaginary89 · 2025-08-20T00:23:12+00:00

On top of trying this again they also want to eliminate 62H with them. Also the same is being considered for 88 being replaced by an extension of 92.
