Re: [PHOTOS] CTA ''Spam Cans'' On the P & W

From what I have seen of photos of the original 6000s, there was a second group of the pre Green Hornet cars that came from the factory with the headlight above the end door. The originals are easy to spot since the headlight assembly is built into the front bulkhead rather than being added on as is the case with the converted ones. Also for some strange reason, the Green Hornets also had the “added on” headlight assemblies even though the cars acme factory equipped that way. The pair at Fox River is the 6101/6102 unit which was running in regular passenger service as late as 1989 and which I had the good fortune to operate when I was there that year thanks to the kindness of a CTA supt who shall remain nameless.
