Car 2103 leads an Englewood-Howard All-Stop at Howard
terminal on August 29, 1982. By this point, approximately
half of the 2000-series
cars have been transferred off the West-South Route onto the
North-South Route, with many (like 2103-2104) repainted into
the Spirit of Chicago paint scheme; the 3rd and 4th cars are
still in the platinum and black scheme of the 1970s.

sits at Harlem
terminal on September 23, 1976. "Oak Park-All American City"
(cars 2111-2112) were a set of Bicentennials made (after

(at least in their eyes) to the City by the CTA in terms of
service and rolling stock. (Photo by Doug
