Final resting place for El Car No. 1

The CTA's first El car ran the tracks in 1892 from the Loop to the World's Columbian Exposition. It made its last stop Thursday at the Chicago Historical Society.

Swathed in protective shrink wrap and foam, the 46-foot-long, 13-foot-high "L" car was gingerly placed through a second story hole in the museum's wall yeserday. Read the Tribune report.

I'm thinking that train car has lots of Tattler Tales.
