Car 3442 was at the front of the Central
Electric Railfan Association's 2000 CTA charter train
when it pulled into the lay-up track at Kimball
Terminal; now it's at the rear. Note how close the
retracted pantograph is to the platform canopy: the track
actually extends about another 70 feet or so beyond the
train (to the left), but if the train pulled in any more it
would have gotten wedged and stuck! (Photo

Car 3458 is laid-up in a long train of mixed cars south
of Jarvis on
September 3, 2000. The car is one half of hybrid unit
3457-3458. Car 3458 is actually a 2600-series
car, originally numbered 3032, whose mate was damaged and
retired. An all-new 3200-series
unit, car 3457, was built as a new mate. Car 3458's paint
and decals were stripped off (long before it became the new
look for the 2600s) to
make it visually trainline better with its plain metal
3200-series mate.
