* The numbering order mostly catches the chronology of infrastructure that the current routings run on (South Side, then Lake/Metropolitan system, then North Side, then Midway branch).
The Swift, Cermak, and Midway are semi-mnemonic via their assigned numeral (SwIXft, SEVENrmak but take liberties with pronunciation of Cermak, Midw8); the Swift being before the Cermak branch also lets me group it with the other North Side stuff.

** Design features by me include the "chips" for color-coding streetcar and interurban excursions (which at the museum are distinct in the extent of their route on the historic electric trackage south of the WRM grounds) and the stroked-bold-type wordmark. Both make use of my favorite typeface, Atkinson Hyperlegible, which is great both for low-vision and for that general-purpose industrial press or typewriter look.
