A Howard-bound Evanston Shuttle train led by car 6606
leaves the Linden
Yard, crossing Maple Avenue on its way north on May 28,
1978. Note the other 6000s
in the Linden
Yard, bearing Evanston Express destination signs. The
chain link fence across the tracks was installed in 1973
when third rail was installed to keep people away from it;
it is normally across the tracks and is automatically
activated by oncoming trains. (Photo by Ed
