Interior view of a Chicago Transit Authority 1950's era 6000 series rapid transit car. Chicago Illinois USA. March 1985.

I took this photo on a March 17th, 1985 CTA rapid transit chartered excursion train.
The Illinois Railway Museum located in Union Illinois, sponsored this unique all day charter over all of the Chicago Transit Authority rapid transit lines, and named it
"The Snowflake Special". Our train was made up of 1950's era CTA 6000 and 5-50 series lightweight rapid transit cars in their final years of service and facing eventual retirement from service. This cars interior, is still in the original CTA 1950's era two tone green color scheme. Medium or teel green was used below the windows, and aqua green for the upper sections. Notice the individual incadescent light fixtures on the ceiling. Several CTA 5-50 and 6000 series rapid transit cars have found homes in various railroad museums around North America including the Illinois Railway Museum itself.
