This is an interior view looking through the open end door into the other car ,of a two car married pair CTA 6000 series rapid transit train. These cars were refered to as "Married Pairs", as they were permanently coupled with a draw bar between cars, had a cab at each end of the train, and could not be operated as a single unit. Two cars equalled one unit on the 6000 series cars, and on the current CTA Fleet as well.Welcome to my rail fan page!
