A floor leval interior view of a CTA 6000 series rapid transit car under restoration.

                     I took this photograph during an August 2006 visit to the Illinois Railway
                     Museum, located in the town of Union Illinois. www.irm.org

                       I was walking through one of the display barns at the museum, and found
                       an open door on a 1950's era Chicago Transit Authority 6000 Series rapid
                       transit subway car, built by the St. Louis Car Company using several good
                       recycled and very usable electrical and interior components, from many of
                        the Chicago Transit Authority's recently retired and scrapped streamlined
                        postwar PCC "Green Hornet" electric streetcars. These cars lasted in daily
                       CTA  rapid transit service on some routes, through out the 1980's, and in
                       some cases, in to the mid 1990's.

                      This is a behind the scenes candid photograph, of a museum car undergoing
                       extensive restoration at the Illinois Railway Museum.

                   Thanks.
