This is an inside view of a CTA 6000 series rapid transit car. These cars were starting to show their age mechanically, and during the 1980's, a number of charterred fantrips by various railfan groups took place in the city of Chicago Illinois. These cars were gradually being replaced or placed into maintenance of way service for the CTA. This was on a March 1985 charter fantrip sponsored by the Illinois Railway museum in Union Illinois. Our excursion was a late winter outing entitled"The snowflake special". It was a nice way to enjoy a gloomy Chicago weekend.
