How Chicago's CTA Moves Its Heritage Cars
Posted by ChicagoPCCLCars on Sun Nov 3 16:06:41 2019 The Shuttlewagon uses tires to move the Cincinnati Cars from tracks with third rail power to track without third rail. The Shuttlewagon takes the PCC 6000 series cars from inside from Skokie Shops to their outside tracks. This picture was used as the ticket photo in a recent charter. David Harrison
