Chicago Transit Authority 6000 series rapid transit train. Chicago Illinois USA. March 1985.

This is a CTA rapid transit train of aging 1950's vintage 6000 series cars. I took this photograph on a chartered fantrip sponsored by the Illinois Railway Museum. Our trip was entitled -
"The snowflake special", and operated all over the entire CTA rapid transit system, except for the "Skokie Swift line" wich is todays 'Yellow Line" rapid transit, and "Still" does not operate at all on the weekends. I believe that this photograph was taken at the Western Avenue station on the old "Douglas Park L", wich in 2007 is the CTA "Pink" line.
