Ex-Chicago Transit Authority (ex-Chicago Railways, ex-Chicago Surface Lines) 460 is an "Old Pullman" streetcar built by Pullman in 1909. This type of car epitomized the vast Chicago streetcar system.
Car 460 ran until 1956, and was chosen by CTA for preservation.
The car was stored in various CTA barns until CTA divested its historic collection in 1985, at which time 460 was acquired by the Illinois Railway Museum and seen here on March 13 2004
