Chicago Transit Authority antique rapid transit cars.

These retired CTA Rapid Transit cars are seen here operating and on display at the Fox River Trolley Museum in South Elgin Illinois. The Grean and Cream color car was built in the 1920's , and the modern Silver and Red 3 unit articulated was built in 1945. Both cars are from the "Chicago Rapid Transit" company. (pre cta)
