304 and 321 passing the storage siding for the Cook County branch at Bellwood.







306
(L) In 1920's deep red, probably taken in the early 1930's with car 201 in "coffee and cream" livery behind it. (R) On the east ladder; beyond are 2001-2002 and two Pullmans.






307

(L) Freshly painted in 1930's "coffee and cream" colors: maroon body, cream letterboard and belt rail, light brown doors. Is that a CSL "Matchbox" in the right background?

What are the colors in 302-3?

In 302-4 is the car at the left #34? The 319 appears to be red and grey. What color are the others?

In 306 is the car at right 301? The pic appears to have been taken in the early or mid '30's because the 301(?) is red and cream.

302-2: Final red. 302-3: 302 and 319 are final red, 34 is blue. In 306 the next car is 201, because it had its clerestory blocked off.
