After the Morse-Rogers Park stop, there was a train on the outer tracks passing you in the same direction. What line was that?

Wow! Wrigley Field before it had lights! I remember that vibrating sound the cars would make at cruising speed.

This movie was probably shot in 1974 or 1975...the first Howard Shop hasn't been built yet.

Between Armitage and Fullerton at 1:32, interesting to see that the old DePaul theater building (aka "The Barn") was still standing then.

Passing Wilson, it looks like the historic cars are sitting in the yard, along with a number of other 4000s. Several sets were kept here after withdrawal from Evanston service, stored serviceable, until they were sold for scrap in 1975.

Love the old CRT blue signs!

Ah...that magic sound of hypoid gears....
