In this view looking northeast, a two-car train has completed its trip around the Packingtown loop on the Stock Yards branch and, having just left Armour station (just out of view on the right) it's about to rejoin the branch's main line on its way back to Indiana station.

Three generations of "L" equipment -- from right to left, in order of age, a wood car, a 4000-series car, and a High-Performance Family car -- are lined up at Hamlin Yard in 1964. The three also all ran on the Lake Street Line, the location of Hamlin Yard, at one time or another. At left, Pullman-Standard car 2011 represented a state of the art railcar at the time of the photo. Car 4145, at center, represented the steel cars that had served the line since 1915. At right, car 3146, by then in work service, dated from the earliest days of the Lake Street Elevated Railroad and had served the route from 1893 to 1954. (Photo from the CTA Collection)

A two-car Westchester train led by car 2790 nears Roosevelt Road as it travels south, probably in the 1940s. The track the cars on the left are stored on was the original terminal track when the branch ended at Roosevelt. It was downgraded to a storage track when the line was extended south in the open cut. Note that by this time, the appearance of the cars had become weathered and dull after years of deferred maintenance. (George Krambles photo, courtesy of the Krambles-Peterson Archive)

Car 2790, a 1904-vintage Jewitt-built former Metropolitan Elevated motorcar, is part of a two-car train on the Westchester branch circa the late 1940s. This view looks south from Roosevelt Road, where the double-track branch narrows to a single-track line for the remaining mile to the terminus at Mannheim/22nd.

Car 2790 performs the duties of the single-car shuttle approaching the Westchester (Canterbury) station. Such limited service was not only typical on the single-track portion of the Westchester branch, but more than adequate. By the time of this 1940s photo, however, some buildings had begun to spring up along the line. (George Krambles photo, courtesy of the Krambles-Peterson Archive)
