ROW@EvergreenJct01.jpg (165k) Two trains of 4000-series cars meet near Evergreen Junction, looking southeast on October 11, 1952. The train on the right, led by a "Baldie" 4000, is a Logan Square train emerging from the Milwaukee-Dearborn Subway. The train on the left may is an equipment transfer; the elevated tracks south of here -- the Paulina Connector -- were no longer used in revenue service at this point. Evergreen Junction, where the old Milwaukee Elevated, the portion later dubbed the Paulina Connector, and the Dearborn Subway, is behind the photographer. 4000s replaced the 6000s on the Milwaukee service around this time.

oakpark02.jpg (205k) A westbound Garfield Park train -- a mixed consist of Baldie and Plushie 4000-series cars -- pulls into Oak Park station circa 1954. The platforms at Oak Park are staggered; the station house and inbound platform can be seen across the street in the background. The white sign on the train's front chains reads, "MEETS 4:36 CA&E". After the interurban cut back its trains from the Loop to Forest Park in 1953, many commuters rode the "L" to connect to interurban trains to the western suburbs. The CTA assisted customers by having trains carry signs that noted what CA&E trains they connected with. (Photo by B.L. Stone, courtesy of the Krambles-Peterson Archive) |
