West Archer Avenue CTA bus terminal. April 1988.

Hello everybody!
Welcome to Eddie's Railfan Page. Today once again is "Bus Day" here at My blog site. I took this photograph on a lovely spring Saturday afternoon in April of 1988. We are at the West Terminal for the Chicago Transit Authority Rt# 62 Archer / Harlem bus line. We are a 1 block east of Harlem Avenue, at the Chicago city limits near the village of Summit Illinois. The buses shown here are 1970's vintage GMC Fishbowl, or new look buses, nicknamed so due to their unique windshield design. The era of Bubble windshields, slanted side windows, and fluted stainless steel siding was coming to a close within the next 8 years for CTA transit buses.
