In this photo, apparently dated October 9, 1978, 4000-series car 4284 sits at Warehouse Point in Connecticut. They seem to have restored one of their cars to the green, orange, and salmon livery. Note the Boston (ex-Dallas) PCC streetcar to the right. (Photo by unknown)

Car 4284 (right) stands at the Illinois Railway Museum with car 4436 in the summer of 1976. The cars were shipped on their own wheels to IRM after their retirement from the CTA, then loaded on flat cars to go east to the Connecticut Electric Railway Association (aka Warehouse Point, see above). The cars did run at IRM on their own power. (Photo by Peter Vesic)

A Lake "A" train of 4000s stops at State & Lake while heading westbound on the Inner Loop circa the 1950s. At this time, the Loop was operated uni-directionally (counterclockwise) with Evanston Express and (usually) Ravenswood trains on the Outer Loop and Lake, Garfield, and Douglas trains on the Inner Loop.

A 4000-series Lake "B" train travels along the grade-level tracks adjacent to the Chicago & North Western between Marion Street and Home Avenue circa the 1950s. Above "L" cars is the C&NW's Oak Park passenger shed for westbound trains -- the C&NW used left-hand running -- leaving the Loop. The main C&NW depot is on other side of the embankment.
