Rapid transit cars from Chicago and Philadelphia. The East Troy Electric Railroad and Museum. East Troy Wisconsin USA. September 2006.

A 1920 's era standard 4000 series rapid transit car from Chicago Illinois, and a lightweight later model from Philadelphia Pennsylvania, are seen coupled together on a shuttle passenger train. The red Philadelphia car, was refered to as a Stratford car, and was originally used on the 3rd rail high speed Norristown Line.
Although this train is operating under overhead wire, the former Chicago car still retains it's third rail shoes on the cars trucks.
