CHICAGO - The Chicago Transit Authority's 2023 Pride Train is now in service.
The CTA says the train features positive and welcoming messages on board.

"In Chicago, we're proud to champion the LGBTQIA+ community and will continue to make our city a beacon for freedom, hope, and love for all," said Mayor Brandon Johnson. "The Pride Train is a reminder to residents and visitors that members of the LGBTQIA+ community are welcome and celebrated here. As we celebrate Pride events throughout the month, I encourage everyone to use the CTA and continue doing their part to make Chicago a more inclusive place for everyone."
