CTA S-606 |
| Description: |
Chicago Transit Authority S-606 at Dempster Street in Skokie, Illinois on October 25, 1964, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The car was built in 1923 for the Chicago North Shore & Milwaukee Railroad as line car 606 by the Cincinnati Car Company. The CTA purchased the car in 1963 upon the cessation of North Shore Line service and rebuilt it. Yes, that is a step-ladder on the roof of the line car. |

CTA 3 |
| Description: |
Chicago Transit Authority 3 at Skokie, Illinois on April 20, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Car 3 was built by the Saint Louis Car Company in 1950 using components salvaged from PCC cars. This was the northern terminal of the Skokie Swift and car 3 is seen changing ends, thus both pans are up. Four cars were chosen for the initial operation of the line (1-4) and car 4 received the pans first, custom built at the CTA's Skokie Shops. Tests revealed that the pans would not maintain contact with the overhead wire at speed, so airfoils, designed by George Krambles, were built at the shops, installed on car 2, tested and adjusted, factoring in prior tests done on the Illinois Terminal. The actual design was basically two standard trolley poles with their spring bases mounted parallel and joined by a light frame supporting a pantograph bow. A roof-mounted motor-driven retriever handles the trolley rope and a solenoid latch holds the pan down when desired. The tendency of wind pressure to push the pan down at speeds in excess of 35 mph is offset by the lift produced by the airfoil installed between the poles below the bow. While a pantograph concievably could have done the job, at the time the existing pantographs available either in the USA or abroad did not meet the extreme conditions of 22 foot high wire, low car roof, and weight limit permissible on the light roofs of the cars. Stools under small, light pantographs would not have met clearance limitations at shop doors and overpasses. |

| Description: |
Chicago Transit Authority 30 departing at Skokie, Illinois on an unknown day in January 1981, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The following is from http://www.chicago-l.org/operations/lines/yellow.html : In early 2007, another remnant of the North Shore Line was removed from the Yellow Line. Over the weekend of February 17-18, 2007, Dempster Tower was demolished. The interlocking tower, which stood approximately 300 feet south of the Skokie station platforms, once controlled the junction between the Skokie Valley main line tracks and the spur to the stub platform behind the old Dempster station where Chicago Rapid Transit Niles Center branch "L" trains terminated. The tower was last used in revenue service in March 1948, when the CTA suspended "L" service on the Niles Center branch and the stub platform was no longer used. The masonry tower, whose design complimented the historic Dempster station, stood dormant for the six decades thereafter. |

Chicago Transit Authority 6101 and 53 at the shops in Skokie, Illinois on an unknown day in July 1981, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. If memory serves, this was a fan trip to the shops featuring several assorted new and newly rebuilt pieces of equipment displayed on the shop leads. The trip was timed for those of us who worked during the day, so it was late in the evening by the time the trip arrived at the shops. Many of the photos I shot were illuminated with flash (strobe). |
