Car 6258, in its Mint Green and Alpine White livery,
leads a northbound Englewood-Howard "A" train at Indiana
Ave. on October 2, 1972. The extra wide platform in the
background is the result of a third track that was removed
and covered over. (Photo by Steve Zabel,

Still in its Mercury Green, Croydon Cream, Swamp Holly
Orange paint scheme, car 6293 brings up the rear of a
Jackson Park-Howard All-Stop at Howard
on July 21, 1968. The scene gives an interesting look at
1960s-era CTA signage, including the pre-CTA blue and white
enamel station sign on the extreme left which reads "Howard
- City Limits". (Photo by Doug Grotjahn,

A Jackson Park-Howard "B" train, led by 6313, passes "A"
station Indiana on
October 2, 1972. Note the extra wide northbound platform.
Originally, there was a third track where the forward part
of the platform is now (the track occupied by 6313 was an
express track). The Kenwood branch continued straight from
where the tracks turn right in the background. Another train
of 6000s passes on the
southbound track. (Photo by Steve Zabel.

Painted in 2400-style
red, white, and blue, car 6343 makes quite a contrast to the
lead cars as it stops at Tech-35th
on August 15, 1978. Tech-35th
has already gotten its new color-coded A/B signs here.
