Pictured above is Chicago's first elevated train car. That is the Fort Dearborn model, Pioneer Locomotive, 'L' Car No. 1. Pretty impressive, eh? The Chicago History Museum has this train car on display as part of the permanent exhibit Chicago: Crossroads of America.
And how did they get this classy antique train car in the museum? Very carefully, as you'll see in the video below.
