Not on was this video nostalgic but so was the dialogue.

I didn't know they ran the 2000 series cars on the Evanston express line, when I left Chicago to move to LA they were on the Lake Dan Ryan.

Not to many of the 6000's left back then. I read that Frazier Thomas host of Garfield Goose & Friends and later taking over Bozo's Circus lived in Wilmette and took the EE to work. Someone mentioned at a discussion board one morning he saw him at the Addison St. Howard line in 1968-69 waiting for the bus to go to WGN.

"Excuse me. Do you know what stop is after Central?" "No. Yes."
