CTA 4391 7-4-85
CTA "Green Hornet" postwar PCC 4391 (St Louis 1948 order 1662) @ Illinois Railway Museum, Union IL 7-4-85
Unlike the prewar "Blue Geese", the postwar PCC cars were built as Pay As You Enter cars as were most of Chicago's two-man cars. One boarded the car through the triple stream rear doors and paid one's fare to the conductor who stood directly in front of them on the opposite side. One could then take a seat and/or exit the car either at the single center door or the double-stream front doors.
