Скачать или смотреть CTA Heritage Fleet on the 75th Anniversary in 4K!

Life Begins At 75. On Saturday, October 1, 2022, the Chicago Transit Authority celebrated its 75th Anniversary in grand style. With 3 sets of vintage equipment running on "The Loop", visitors were able to ride fro just the regular fare and join in the festivities. CTA also brought out buses from its vintage collection, gave away posters, and more. On October 1, 1947, the City of Chicago acquired Chicago Rapid Transit Company and the Chicago Surface Lines, later adding the Chicago Motor Coach Company to form the CTA. Even the President of CTA, Dorval R. Carter, Jr., came down to ride with passengers and talk about the history of the CTA! Here's to the next 75 Chicago! The video captures regular service trains and the heritage fleet moves through Wellington Station.
