Those cars have been out of regular service for many years. Still, it is nice to see a public agency with a sense of its own history; the TA in New York does also. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTA had used these Cincinnati Car Co. 4000 Series cars for their 70th anniversary in 2017. They had refurbished these historic passenger cars.

Wendell1976 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Here's two pictures of the Union Pacific in Salt Lake City, Utah. In the first picture, the Utah State Capitol building is in the background. The second picture has the Downtown Salt Lake City skyline in the background. Both pictures have the Wasatch Mountains in the background. I will be in the Salt Lake City area this weekend for the National Model Railroad Association(NMRA) model train show. The model train show will be in suburban Sandy, Utah which is about 10 miles(16 kilometers) south of SLC. To all of you soccer lovers: Sandy is the home of the Real Salt Lake team in Major League Soccer. https://www.railpictures.net/photo/373149/ https://www.railpictures.net/photo/358235/ Wendell Parks Idaho, USA 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
