My how the times have changed. This is the CTA rapid transit yard and maintenance facility in north suburban Evanston Illinois at Howard Street. This yard has long since been remodeled and improved. You wouldn't believe it if You can see the new facility today. A fleet of aging 6000 series rapid transit cars in the 1960's color scheme, of "Mint Green and Alpine White", sit between assignments in the yard storage tracks to the right. The 6000 series cars were partly built from CTA Electric streetcar components during the 1950's. (The pcc green hornet fleet.)
