Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Magnificent. Mind you, it comes at a cost. I'd be terrified of the consequences if I scrawled "Demand Free Speech" across the train.

I would not advise that 
What a treasure! And seems very well maintained!

Are the newer stations as beautiful? There SHOULD be art in public infrastructure.

I completely agree. I haven't been in a Chicago subway station in decades, but they were dilapidated and depressing as I remember.
That is an upscale, beautiful metro system.
