WTTW's Chicago Tonight did a piece on the CTA planning to use their small Heritage Fleet for special events.
It's not up on youtube yet, so here's the link:

Cool. So they plan on restoring a set of the Budd cars. I wonder if they are going to try and get the 6101-02 from the Fox River Trolley Museum. and possibly a set of the 1-50 cars. from either IRM or Fox River.
So cool the CTA is acknowledging their heritage fleet.I guess it is asking too much to see the above photo recreated,although the CTA did bring back the only steam survivor for their 100th birthday,but I hope the Electroliner runs in Chicago again in my lifetime.I know the North Shore Line isn't the CTA,but the Electroliner would be so impressive running in the city again.
