Chicago Transit Authority #460
Title:  Chicago Transit Authority #460
Description:  Built by Pullman in 1908. The following is from a display on the car: Chicago Railways was formed in 1903, and eventually operated over 575 miles of street trackage from downtown to the citys North and West sides. In 1914, Chicago Railways combined with three other lines to form the Chicago Surface Lines. Those routes eventually became part of the CTA in 1947. CR (and later CSL and CTA) 460 was one of 600 identical wooden pay-as-you-enter (PAYE) cars. PAYE cars required passengers to board only at the rear, so that the conductor did not have to roam the car to collect fares and dispense transfers. These Red Rocket streetcars-considered a classic Chicago design-ran until the 1950s, among the last non-PCC cars in use. IRM received the car in 1985, after donation by the CTA. Only three cars of this type (including restored CSL 144, also at IRM) have been preserved.

Chicago City Railway #532
Title:  Chicago City Railway #532
Description:  This 1930 replica of a Grip Car represents Chicago's once vast (a one time the largest in the world) cable car system of the late 19th century. Cable cars operated by a grip car grabbing or releasing a moving underground cable. At the end of each line would be a loop taking the car a block over and back the way it came. Chicago’s Downtown is referred to as “The Loop” because of these cable cars, although; many Chicagoans mis-credit it to the Elevated Railroad loop, which was not constructed until the early 20th century. The electric motor made the cable car obsolete and the last run was made in 1906. This car was built by the Chicago City Railway in 1930 using the knowledge of the then retired cable men for the Museum of Science & Industry.
