CTA 5000 series cars (the modern ones)

Does anyone have drawings or know where to go to get drawings of the modern CTA 5000 series 'L' cars?  I have found a single ultra low resolution drawing from Bombadier's website, but that's it.

Iain,

Found this image https://images.app.goo.gl/JE2WMX9JkN2gjwVX9 on google and is linked to a Chicago Tribune article about people hating the inward facing seats of the 5000 series.  Hope this helps.

Try-
https://www.chicago-l.org/trains/index.html
https://www.chicago-l.org/trains/roster/5000mkII.html

Note that in the article about the 5000s, there are several small inset photos- in the captions there is a "For a larger view, click here." which yields a full sized photo.

And scroll to the bottom of the page for a gallery of photos.

I gave up rivet counting when I couldn't see an N scale rivet anymore.

Oops, sorry, when I did my own search through the links above, came up with drawings of earlier 5000 series, but not the current 5000 series.  But photos are still nice.
