The oldest electric car at the Illinois Railway Museum is this 1895 Pullman streetcar, Ex-West Chicago Street Railway 4.
It actually operated as Chicago Union Traction 4022, but for the World's Fair in 1933 it was restored as WCSR 4 by the shop forces of the Chicago Surface Lines.
Later used in various streetcar parades, the car became part of the CTA Historic Collection in the late 1950s. It was transferred to the IRM in 1985 and is shown there on March 13 2004
