On the CTA's 75th birthday, a 4000 series train glides into the Washington & Wells station. A great day to celebrate the CTA!
CTA's freight train with coal hoppers from Lill Coal, located along the north side mainline. The train is on the gauntlet track (which provided extra clearance to the electrified third rail for the freight cars), using the overhead wire for power.

They used to be "the green limousines"...then they advanced to these Flexible CTA buses. I really enjoy the buses with the exhaust pipes on the roof. I despise those that have exhaust in the bottom rear. Do you remember the accordion green limousines? With turns I always thought they would tip over. =)

Another trio of color images of the CTA Stockyards Branch from the camera of William Hoffman circa 1957. I believe this view looks west from the Halsted platform. Everything in this scene is gone today, although one original multi-story building from the former Swift complex survived until 2022. Also the bank building which is the subject of the billboard at left still exists on Halsted.
This was a duplicate slide from one of the many slide sets sold by the Shore Line Interurban Historical Society www.shore-line.org/ back in the 80s / 90s. And if you are interested in the history of rail transit / passenger rail in Chicago and have not seen their quarterly publication First and Fastest, you're missing out!
CTA 4391, a 1948 Saint Louis Car Co PCC, at the Illinois Railroad Museum in Union, Illinois on Saturday, October 15th, 2022.
Retired by the CTA when it was 10 years old this car has been preserved for 64 years.
