As two Evanston trains of 4000-series cars meet at Davis station in downtown Evanston, car 4293 leads the northbound train (at left) on September 15, 1969. The trolley poles seen here would be needed for another four years before third rail was installed. (Collection of Joe Testagrose)

Car 4296 brings up the rear of the Linden-bound Evanston train stopped at Main, looking north on October 21, 1968. The C&NW's Main Street-Evanston station is seen on the left. Note also the 1950s-era black and white station name sign on the southbound "L" platform. (Photo by Doug Grotjahn, Collection of Joe Testagrose)

Out of revenue service for about a year, car 4325 leads a work train -- including fully converted, yellow-painted 4000-series work cars -- through Howard Yard on August 7, 1974. Note the other work car on the left in the yard. (Photo by Doug Grotjahn, Collection of Joe Testagrose)

Car 4346 (foreground), 4376 (background, left), and several other 4000s sit in Skokie Yard on August 20, 1970. In the not-too-distant future, the cars would be out of regular service, through many would go on to a second life as work cars. (Photo by Joe Testagrose)

To provide more effective rail grinding operations (and the ability to do it at speed), car 4358 was converted into work car S-1 in 1972 and named "Shhhicago". The car is still undergoing conversion, though already wearing its distinctive red paint scheme at Skokie Shops on April 1, 1972. The car would not enter service until June. A 6000-series car is behind 4358, while a 2000-series car is on the track to the right. (Collection of Joe Testagrose)

Car 4377 brings up the rear of a training train traveling north past Jarvis on track 4 on August 20, 1970. Note the red and white sign in the right front window (where the old destination sign would be) instruction riders not to board the training train. (Photo by Joe Testagrose)

The CTA's training train is on the Ravenswood here, passing Montrose station on August 20, 1970. Note the two uniformed men in the motorcab; presumably, one is the line instructor or supervisor and the other is the trainee. (Photo by Joe Testagrose)
