Snowflake Special

Frequent contributor Chuck Amstein has sent us photos from yesterday's Snowflake Special, which covered much of the CTA system using the soon-to-be-retired Budd cars. Thanks, Chuck!


End of track west of the Des Plaines Ave. shop. This right-of-way would have been used by the CA&E if service had ever been restarted.

If you missed this trip, I just hope you're as sorry about it as I am. DON'T let it happen again!
