We catch a two car train consisting of a Pullman and a Cincinnati in a relaxing moment as the pair waits along the bank of the Fox River at the Elgin terminal on June 21, 1942. Both trolley poles appear to be locked down leaving the state of this train rather ambiguous. Has this train just come from Wells Street or is it ready and waiting for the next trip to Wheaton and downtown Chicago?

Car 427 poses with its train crew at the Elgin terminal in March 1938. The rear trolley pole is in position and this car is most likely about to depart on its way to Chicago.
