CSL 1374 7-4-94
Chicago Surface Lines "Matchbox" 1374 (St Louis 1905 order 715) @Illinois Railway Museum 7-4-94
This car was built as Chicago Union Traction 4903. It became Chicago Railways 1374 in 1908 when CUT was bought out by CRys and kept that number through the CSL years until 1947 when the newly formed CTA turned it into salt car AA-63. It was this conversion that allowed it to survive.
