BEFORE THERE WAS A "BLUE LINE" IT WAS CALLED THE "OHARE/DOUGLAS" AND PRIOR TO THAT IT WAS THE "DOUGLAS/MILWAUKEE" LINE SO ON AND SO ON:
IN THIS THREAD I WILL BE POSTING SOME PICS FROM MY COLLECTION OF OLD CHICAGO TRAINS,BUSES AND TRANSIT LINES OF THE PAST....SORRY THEIR WASNT ALOT OF TAGS AND BURNERS ON THE LINE BACK IN THE 1970'S AND EARLYER BUT NEVER THE LESS THESE PICS ARE TIMELESS AND CLASSIC PARTS OF CHICAGO TRANSIT HISTORY....
6000 SERIES TRAINS AKA "GREEN/WHITE MONSTERS"
DOUGLAS/MILWAUKEE B TRAIN AT ADDISON 1979
RAVENSWOOD A TRAIN AT CHICAGO AVE. 1981.
WILMETTE YARDS 1983.

NICE PICS SY..PEACE...REEM/MAD CREW |
