This was a late 50s union concession to reality. The Evanston Local in off hours was the breakthrough as the OPTO agreement allowed retaining close headways at lower labor cost. The motorman collected fares on the train. My experience of this in the early 60s post midnight having escorted a fair lady home then heading back to the South Side. |
