  Chicago ''L''.org: Operations - Lines -> Purple Line
During weekday rush hours, the Purple Line service is extended to downtown Chicago, running express over the North Side Main Line (parts of the Red and Brown lines) to the Loop Elevated, where from 1949 to 2007 it operated clockwise via the Inner Loop.
The Purple Line shuttle is the suburban portion of the Northwestern Elevated Railroad, which opened an extension from Wilson Avenue in Chicago to Central Street, Evanston in 1908.
Of the portion of the extension now on the Purple Line, the section from Howard to University Place was elevated in 1908-10 and the remaining portion to Isabella Avenue on the Evanston-Wilmette city limits was raised in 1928-31.

 Deep Purple
The group's first release as Deep Purple, was the single "Hush." Written and originally recorded by American country artist Joe South, the song was later covered by Billy Joe Royal as a short, snappy pop/soul number.
Their next album, simply titled "Deep Purple" and released in the States in June of '69, was their first to actually warrant the term "heavy".
Glenn Hughes' major claim to fame before joining Purple was his work in "Trapeze", which had released a clutch of fine albums in the early '70s, most notably their 1972 classic, "You Are The Music.

 Proposed Purple Line Colors Contest for Md. Governor - washingtonpost.com
The Purple Line, a proposed rail or bus link between Bethesda and New Carrollton, has emerged as a point of contention in the Maryland governor's race, with both candidates jockeying to outdo each other in demonstrating their newfound enthusiasm for a project they consider key to wooing voters in two of Washington's most populous suburbs.
The Purple Line is one of Ehrlich's top three transit priorities, Flanagan said.
But the Purple Line has opponents, particularly those who worry that it could destroy the nearby Capital Crescent Trail and those who live in neighborhoods that the line would cut through.

 The CCT and the Purple Line.
The concept plan for the Inner Purple Line transit/trail option that follows the CSX corridor directly into the Silver Spring Transit Center includes the CCT continuous into the transit center, where the CCT would connect seamlessly with the Metropolitan Branch Trail.
Transit opponents claim a Purple Line light rail speed will be 55 mph and at that speed will be faster than any other light-rail built alongside a trail, while also claiming that the Purple Line will be too slow to give a significant benefit over buses running in traffic on East-West Highway.
Purple Line opponents ignore the national safety data and our own local experience with Metro, and instead they cite any rail accident they can find as anecdotal evidence that rail transit is inherently dangerous.

 Purple line plans may speed up - News   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
A public transportation system along Campus Drive, dubbed the Purple Line, could be more likely to move forward under Gov.-elect Martin O'Malley, increasing the chances of connecting this university with surrounding areas while reducing traffic congestion, said a university official.
The Purple Line, which would consist of either light rail trains or bus rapid transit, would connect the university to New Carollton in the east and Silver Spring and Bethesda in the west, with stops in Langley Park and other areas lacking Metro stops along the way.
Officially known as the Bi-County Transitway, the Purple Line has gained strong support from the university, which sees it as an opportunity to encourage students to commute and draw development to the area, said John Porcari, vice president of administrative affairs.

 Slope of a Straight Line
One of the most important properties of straight lines is their angle from horizontal.
This relationship is true for every horizontal line: a slope of zero means the line is horizontal, and a horizontal line means you'll get a slope of zero.
It is very common to confuse these two lines and their slopes, but they are very different.

 At a Crossroads Over the Purple Line
America is stuck in a rut, and the Purple Line is a prime example of great ideas going to waste, getting lost in time and bureaucracy.
The Silver Spring neighborhoods affected by the proposed Purple Line alignments are deeply divided on support for the project, largely because the Maryland Transit Administration has not been forthcoming with sufficient information about the possible effects on traffic, the environment and homes.
Although there are legitimate concerns about the routing of the Purple Line, there are so many good reasons to build it that the effort should not be allowed to stall.

 Royal Purple FAQs
While the Royal Purple SAE and Racing engine oils may be used in motorcycle applications the Max-Cycle® line of engine oils has been formulated specifically for motorcycle engines and transmissions.
Royal Purple provides outstanding protection for the e-shaft, rotor bearings, thrust bearings and is suitable for the oil injection system as it has proven to run cleaner than other oils and is an excellent choice for rotary apex seals, corner seals, and side seals.
While Purple Ice® does contain corrosion inhibitors as well as lubricants to compensate for a lower anti-freeze / water concentration, Royal Purple recommends a minimum of 20 percent anti-freeze concentration be used in street driven vehicles because Purple Ice® has no effect on the boiling and / or freezing point of water.

 DC Metrorail: A Three-Phase Expansion Plan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The following open letter to MWCOG and the County Council is in reference to the "Purple Line" proposal for a "compromise route" that uses the Inner Alignment as well as portions of the so-called "outer alignment" in a network connected seamlessly to the existing Metrorail system.
The existence of such a proposal as the Wheaton one, which for some reason is called "the" Outer Line, is not an argument for or against the utility of the Georgetown Branch for rail of any sort.
If a COMPLETED Purple Line network is ever to become attractive and worth extending to outlying destinations 20 track-miles hence, its central segment MUST be rapid rail that is compatible with existing Metrorail tracks and platforms at Bethesda and Silver Spring -- even if the trainsets are built for trundling at-grade through the outlying destinations.

That means some sort of Purple Line, but not the versions currently proposed by the two candidates who are hoping to succeed Montgomery County Executive Doug Duncan.
In fact, extending the Purple Line all the way around Metro and into Virginia on the new Woodrow Wilson Bridge spans, which were designed with precisely that eventuality in mind, should be one of the top transportation priorities of every public official in both Maryland and Virginia.
The reason the Purple Line is not already a reality is not so much a lack of money as it is a dearth of political leadership.
