	cta2468.jpg (138k) A four-car Englewood-Howard "A" train of 2400s stops at Belmont on August 15, 1978. Note the unusual old-style A/B symbol sign on the light post on the left: the type using diagonal names were far rarer than those using the "big first letter" motif.

	cta2485.jpg (143k) By 1982, the vast majority of 2400-series cars were assigned to the Lake-Dan Ryan Line. This practice is once again the case today with the Green Line. Car 2485 leads a Lake-Dan Ryan "A" train, looking east at State/Lake on August 30, 1982. (Photo by Doug Grotjahn, Collection of Joe Testagrose)

	cta2400s@washington.jpg (60k) A Douglas-Milwaukee "B" train made up of Boeing-Vertol 2400-series cars stops at Washington/Dearborn in 1978. It is interesting to note that despite it being 27 years after the Dearborn Subway opened and the CTA being in the middle of their second large-scale signage initiative (this time the KDR-style signs), this photo contains a large amount of original-design signage dating back to the subway's 1951 opening.
