cta24.jpg

A color photo taken in January 1968 at Howard St. of 24, which was only one of two Skokie-equipped 1-50's to get a pantograph instead of a pan-trolley. (The other was car 4. Car 24's pantograph came from 4, so 24 was unique at the time of the photo.) (Photo by Leon Kay)

A shot of 29 at Dempster (Skokie) in 1974 going through the crossovers. (Photo by Leon Kay)

cta45.jpg

1-50 series PCC car 45 was bought to and is being restored for operation at the The East Troy Electric Railroad Museum. It had been recently delivered to the Wisconsin museum in this Winter 1998 picture, still livered in its 1985 "Spirit of Chicago" scheme.

Cars 41 and 42, pictured at Damen/Milwaukee on June 26, 1960, display the final variation of the above paint scheme, with a green roof, no standee window stripe, the forest green borders eliminated and the final CTA shield logo. The cars are equipped with trolley poles for use on the Evanston Line. (Photo by Raymond DeGroote)
