1965 Chicago Transit Authority Flxible transit coach. The Illinois Railway Museum. Union Illinois USA. August 2006.


Helo Everyone!
Welcome to Eddie's Railfan Page.
Today is "Bus Day" here at My blog site.
Seen here are some preserved vintage examples on location at the Illinois Railway Museum, located in the town of Union Illinois in Mc.Henry County. Most people think of railroad museums for things like 'Steam Trains or Electric Streetcars", well vintage buses are becoming populair exhibits as well these days. A walk through the Museum's bus garage in August 2006, took Me back physically somewhat to My Chicago childhood. I rode many of these buses during the 1960's and 70's in daily service, and it was good to see -touch-and ride some of these once again. This is a 1965 Flxible new look transit coach. I frequently rode these on the Route #52 Kedzie/California bus line as well as the Route #60 Blue Island bus line. They were retired in 1986. "Next Stop -Kedzie Avenue!"
