Car 6139 rests in the Kimball
Yard on August 17, 1978. Several CTA paint schemes can
be seen in this six-car train: 6139-6140 wears the
red/white/and blue scheme introduced by the 2400s
in 1976; the pair behind wears the Bicentennial scheme, the
predecessor of the R/W/B scheme; the last pair wears the
Mint Green and Alpine White introduced with the 2000s,
first applied to the 6000s
in 1965. (Photo by Doug Grotjahn, Collection

Halsted/Lake
on November 11, 1977. Several 6000s,
like 6139-6140, received a new red/white/blue paint scheme
after the 2400s arrived
with it in 1976, a variation of the Bicentennial scheme.
