Let's Ride the Rail - CTA Yellow Line Round-Trip between Howard and Skokie

By popular demand, here's a round-trip ride on the yellow line aka the Skokie Swift between Howard and Dempster-Skokie. The operating process is very quick on this one compared to the other lines. It usually takes about 10 to 20 minutes for the train to turn back around when it reaches its terminal station. They also wait at the terminal station for about 10 minutes, allowing some time for the passengers to board. But for the yellow line, the entire turn-around takes about 2 minutes and the boarding process only takes about 10 to 20 seconds (like a normal stopping time at other stations besides the terminal stations) before starting its journey.

Please note that requests will be processed in no particular order. So if you request something, it might take a few days or weeks for me to process that, depending on where you want me to go and whether there is flexible time on my schedule.
