Chicago Rapid Transit

2721 was built by Barney & Smith in 1895 at Metropolitan-West Side Elevated Ry 721. In 1913 it was renumbered 721. In 1919 it was rebuilt as a merchandise dispatch car to be leased to the North Shore line. After a short time it was replaced by new and similar MD cars built for the North Shore. It was then returned to the CRT and used in work service. It became CRT 2721 in 1923.

2756 was built by Barney & Smith in 1895 as M-WSERy 756. In 1913 it was renumbered 756. It became CRT 2756 in 1923. At an unknown date it was rebuilt as a medical car. It was primarily used for physical exams for employes, and occasionally even made it to Milwaukee on the CNS&M.

While strictly a revenue producer, the freight locomotives seem to fit here best.

S-104 and S-105 were built by Baldwin-Westinghouse in August 1920, #53555 and 53556, as Northwestern Elevated RR S-104 and S-105. In 1923 they became CRT S-104 and S-105 and CTA S-104 and S-105 in 1948. In 1982 they were sold to Toledo Edison Co as their 4 and for parts. They are now on the East Troy Electric RR and in Indiana for preservation.

S-200 was built by Barney & Smith in 1901 at M-WSER 783. It was renumbered in 1913 as 2783. In 1916 it was rebuilt as a work motor and numbered S-200. It became CRT S-200 in 1923.

S-221 was rebuilt in 1930 from S-203.

S-300 was built in 1898 for the Lake Street Elevated Ry.

S-308 was a snow blower rebuilt from one of the M-WSER cars.

S-314 was built by Chicago City Ry in 1909 and was rebuilt in 1953 with a crane. It is now at South Elgin.

S-320 appears to have been a 1200 series trailer.

S-332 and S-340 were also rebuilt from 1700 series cars.

S-606 was built by Cincinnati in January 1923 as Chicago North Shore & Milwaukee 606. In 1963 it became CTA S-606.
