A CTA 1-50 Series rail car operates at the National Museum of Transportation in St. Louis, MO. Despite the bitter rivalry between the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals, the two cities actually share a key historical companion. The St. Louis Car Company manufactured the car seen in this photo, and after it was retired from Skokie Swift service (given the trolley pole), it ended up back home where it was manufactured for future generations to enjoy.
