AT&SF Business Car 54 at Roosevelt Road, Chicago, Illinois, July 13, 1983, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Number 54 was built in 1918 for the United States Railway Administration, sold to the AT&SF in 1920, numbered 31 and assigned to AT&SF President Ripley, renumbered to 54 in 1973 and assigned to the General Manager at Topeka. Also seen is RTA (later, Metra) Cab Car 804, built by Budd in 1973. The sign in the door of 804 reads 5:47, so we may assume that the time is a few minutes after that in the afternoon. |
