Cars 6101-6102 are seen in the Kimball
Yard on the Ravenswood Line on August 30, 1982 not long
after becoming a Heritage Train. Then-General Operations
Manager Harold Geissenheimer had 6101-6102, which still
retained its original headlight/destination sign
configuration restored to its 1950s appearance.

Two eras of equipment: restored Heritage Car 6101 and a 2400-series car provide an
interesting contrast and a demonstration of how car design
changed over the course of two decades while waiting at
Kimball terminal.
Note the two different types of "Ravenswood All-Stop"
signage on the trains. (Collection of Joe

Car 6101 leads a Ravenswood "B" train with a rather
interesting consist - cars 6101-6102, a 1-50
series unit, and a 5000-series
unit in the rear - on August 8, 1981. The consist is
especially interesting in light of the fact that, according
to car rosters from the time, only 6101-6102 are actually
assigned to Ravenswood service! (Photo by
