CTA S-417
Title:  CTA S-417
Description:  Chicago Transit Authority S-417 and S-418 at Forest Park, Illinois on an unknown day in March 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Chicago experienced a significant snow storm during January 1979 and the CTA had no snow fighting equipment. This was the response and it's unlikely this equipment ever saw any snow fighting work after the conversion. The rails this equipment was parked on were built for the Chicago Aurora & Elgin Railroad's access to the CTA's Forest Park terminal, but the CA&E was abandon before that plan was implemented.
