This view of the CTA's Holiday Train looks east at 2600-series car 2894 in the north pocket track at the Ashland/63 terminal on December 16, 2000. The CTA sent the six cars normally used on the Holiday Train to Alstom out of sequence for rehab so they'd be ready for use in this year's train. (Photo by Sean Gash)
