Mr. TDM 4512 ◊ 2011-11-19 06:23	This is by no means a 4507. From the window configuration I would say that it would have to be a special TDH 5502 built only for Chicago. The only problem is that the livery, timing and location don't seem to jive. Sorry I can't be of more help on this one. Regards, Mr. 'L'

What seems to be the fourth paired window of the 5502 could be in fact the single window of the 510x followed by the emergency door (note the separation between the standee windows). The fact that they look paired is probably just a photography artifact. If it was a 5502, then where is the emergency door?

The separation between the driver's window and the first passenger window was also larger. This is definitely a TDH-51xx. -- Last edit: 2017-11-06 10:38:08
