CTA "169 car " 3142 (Brill 1923 order 21686) ex CSL (CRys) @IRM Union IL 7-4-2010
On Jan. 26, 1922 a fire devastated the Devon carhouse and destroyed 90 cars. To replace them (and add more capacity) the Chicago Surface Lines ordered this group of new streetcars known by the name "The 169 cars" because of their total number. Because CSL was only an operating company and owned no equipment , actual ownership belonged to 2 of the underlying companies that made up the Surface Lines. Chicago Railways owned 1721-1785 (built by CSL's West Shops), 3119-3160 (Brill) and 3161-3178 (Cummings) while Chicago City Railway owned 6155-6158 (West Shops), 6159-6186 (Brill) and 6187-6198 (Cummings.) This car, 3142, is the last survivor.
As built all were Pay-As-You-Enter two man cars with a rear entrance and sliding front doors and were assigned to the heaviest CSL routes (they had the alternate name of Broadway-State cars). In 1949-1950, following the CTA takeover, the Chicago Transit Authority converted them to one-man cars for use on the lighter lines, replacing the sliding front doors with folding ones and adding foot controls.
The Illinois Railroad Museum has done a fantastic job of restoring this car to its CTA appearance complete with the white band alerting prospective passengers that this is a front-entrance car. I'm glad IRM resisted the temptation to backdate it to its CSL paint scheme. It never ran as a one man car for CSL and it would take a major project to restore the sliding front doors and the other equipment it had as a two-man car.

Chicago Surface Lines "Big Pullman" 144 (Pullman 1908) @ Illinois Railway Museum, Union IL 7-4-92
The 600 "Big Pullmans" were one of the most numerous standard streetcars on the Surface Lines.
Numbered #13 (My favorite number) out of only 50, this is one of the rarest BMWs ever made. Introduced in 2022 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of BMW's Motorsport division, the 3.0 CSL is one of if not the most insane car to roll out of the German manufacturer's factory in recent times. Boasting BMW's most powerful road-legal Straight-6 engine producing over 550hp, this modern take on the "Batmobile" costs about $1.6M before even registering it for road use in Singapore.

Note marker for Chicago Railways, one of the underlying companies for the Surface Lines. Chicago Surface Lines was only an operating company; the cars and buses were owned either by Chicago Railways (like 144 and 1374), Chicago City Railway (the oldest component), Calumet and South Chicago, or Southern Street Railway. (All trolleybuses were Chicago Railways). Each had their own number series-something like Southern.
