The CERA (Central Electric Railfans' Association) Members Blog is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the CTA Skokie Swift today with the first of two installments.

I would like to see the Historical Cars run........the Cincinnati Car Company cars......and give rides!!!! Yes I know the Cincinnati Cars never served on the Skokie line.!!!!!

Your wish may have just been granted. A rail manager has told me there are rumors that #4271-72 will run Apr 26th on the swift from 10AM to 2PM. It would be nice for that to occur. Those cars hardly get any public exposure. Mostly the charters and APTA administrators get to ride them.

Throttle.....off/ switching/ series/ transition/ full multiple. Brake handle.....release/ lap/ service/ emegency/ off handle. Just like the Whopper......it takes TWO HANDS to motor a 4000!!
