4000-series car 4266
leads a northbound Evanston train approaching Dempster
station on August 18, 1970. The Evanston Line would require
the use of the trolley pole-equipped 4000s
for another three years. (Photo by Joe

A two-car Evanston local, led by car 4267, pulls across
Isabella Avenue toward Isabella
station on its way to Linden
on October 2, 1972. Less than one year later, the station
was closed. The bridge over the North Shore Channel is
visible in the background. (Photo by Steve

Cars 4271-4272 have just recently undergone an overhaul,
as evidenced by its gleaming exterior finish. They would be
the last 4000-series cars
to be overhauled, contributing to their being chosen to
become the CTA's preserved Historic Cars. Although it bears
an Evanston/Wilmette sign, it's actually at Dempster
on the Skokie Swift on April 22, 1973.

As railfans look around and take pictures, car 4271
stands really to lead the CTA's Historic Train back south on
the Evanston Line as it stands at Linden
on July 6, 1975. It's trolley poles are no longer necessary
here, as the Evanston Line had been using third rail for
nearly two years now. Note the 6000-series
car in the yard. (Photo by Doug Grotjahn,

Car 4271 brings up the rear on the CTA's two-car Historic
Train on a July 6, 1975 fan trip. The car's 1940s CRT livery
matches well with the architecture of the Depression-era Merchandise
Mart station. (Photo by Doug Grotjahn,
