Chicago Transit Authority #53 was one of four three-car articulated trainsets built in 1947 by St. Louis and Pullman-Standard for Chicago Rapid Transit.  Originally in the 5000-series (#53 was #5003), these cars served for most of their lives on the Skokie Swift line.  This set is now preserved at the Monticello & Sangamon Valley, a small museum in Monticello, Illinois.
