Car 30 sits in Wheaton Yard alongside an unidentified wood car in the brilliant red paint scheme circa 1952. Note the red flag on the 30 which signifies that this car just has been (or is about to be) at the tail end of a train.

A two car train makes an easbound run as it nears a station on the Garfield Park “L” circa 1952. Car 36 brings up the rear.
