CTA 6101
Title:  CTA 6101
Description:  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).
