CTA Surface System History presented by the Illinois Railway Museum

This page contains scans of decals and stickers in the Museum's collection. They have been collected over the years from generous donors - a HUGE thank you to them for not only allowing us to present them here, but also to use them on our historic vehicles.

Numbers in parentheses are the internal CTA identification number, if available). Also, dates are from writing on the backs of the artifacts.

Please note that the "higher res" version may be up to 4 mb. Download time may vary depending on your internet connection.
