CTA 4000 Cars at Harlem Station, Oak Park
Title:  CTA 4000 Cars at Harlem Station, Oak Park
Description:  Date approximate. Looking west at CTA 4000 series trains on both sides of the fairly new station platform after moving the EL up onto the C&NW embankment. With two trains and the platform roof, not much light could get in.

CTA 4000 Series Car at Harlem Avenue stop in Oak Park
Title:  CTA 4000 Series Car at Harlem Avenue stop in Oak Park
Description:  Date approximate. This is taken from the west end of the Harlem Avenue CTA El platform in Oak Park which is the end of the Lake Street El line. Looking west at a "Lake B" train (which means it skips certain stops). Looking into Forest park and the curved street is Circle Avenue. A little to the left of the train a concrete retaining wall is being built and this area will be a small yard.

CTA 4000 Cars at Oak Park
Title:  CTA 4000 Cars at Oak Park
Description:  Date approximate. This is a "Lake B" (skips some stops in Chicago) arriving at the Harlem Avenue El station in Oak Park which is the end of the Lake Street line. View is looking east. At the left is the C&NW Oak Park station for Chicago bound trains and the platform across from it for C&NW westbound trains (left hand running). That small C&NW platform is new and was needed because the EL now passes through where a long thin C&NW waiting area building once stood.

C&NW F7 271
Title:  C&NW F7 271
Description:  Chicago and North Western Railway F7 271 eastbound at about Oak Park Avenue and North Boulevard in Oak Park, Illinois on an unknown day in January 1975, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Number 271 was built in December 1949 as C&NW F7 4085C (c/n 8575) on EMD Order E1188, renumbered to 271 on May 15, 1973, retired December 1, 1975 and traded to EMD. The tracks of CTA's Lake Street Elevated service are seen at the far left beyond the fence.

BRC GP38-2 493
Title:  BRC GP38-2 493
Description:  BRC GP38-2 493 eastbound at Oak Park, Illinois on April 3, 1975, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. A lake-effect snowstorm blew into Chicago catching almost everyone by surprise. The BRC seemed to get along OK (seen here on the C&NW), but the CTA was nearly paralyzed, and downgraded 4000 series work cars were pressed into plow service.

SOO SD40 743
Title:  SOO SD40 743
Description:  SOO SD40 743 westbound at Oak Park, Illinois on an unknown day in December 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. I believe this is a transfer run from the BRC at Clearing Yard (Bedford Park) to Bensenville. In less than a mile this train will climb over the traffic on the left (Eisenhower Expressway, I-90) and turn north, so they are running for the hill. Where you see automobiles in this photo was once the Chicago Aurora & Elgin Railway's right of way. The rails on the left are the CTA, the rails on the right I believe belonged to the B&OCT.
