Caption: “A then-new CTA 5000-series car at Halsted on the old ‘Met’ L, 1947. The four 5000-series cars wore this unique paint scheme until 1955 when they were repainted into the standard CTA green and cream colors of the time.”
Caption: “CTA 1773 in the Linden yard with one of the new 6000-series cars in the background. Built by Pullman in 1908 for the Northwestern Elevated. Not sure on the date for this image, presumably late 1950s (the 1773 is listed as scrapped in 1958).”
