this fine June weekend, we have the pleasure of seeing the museum operate a Chicago Transit Authority Trolley Bus from 1951. Chicago had electric bus service from 1930 to 1973. There were 20 Trolley Bus Routes in Chicago, Most of them were on the Northside of the City. The Chicago Transit Authority ordered 300 of these Marmon Herrington corp Trolley Buses in 1951.
These were the last new Electric Buses for the CTA and were the last in day to day service. Chicago Transit Authority's electric buses operated untill March 25 1973.
