Posted by ChicagoPCCLCars on Sat Aug 3 15:29:29 2013, in response to Re: July Closed A Chicago CTA Era, posted by randyo on Sat Aug 3 14:56:55 2013. The design of the Budd rail cars was supposedly in harmony with the boxy station structures of the two expressway median routes that the 2200s were first assigned to. The 2200s continued the wide picture windows of the "new Look" concept that originated with the Pullman 2000 series cars. Note too that in Chicago, we identify our 'L' cars by their number series, then by the builder. Which can lead to an interesting result. Because the first car in a series is numbered "one" the last car in the series might use the series number of the next series. The last Budd 2600 is #3200. The last Boeing 2400 is #2600.DH |
