1960's era CTA Flxible bus rebuilt in to a work bus. Chicago Illinois USA. January 2007.

1960's era CTA Flxible transit bus rebuilt in to a work bus. Forest Glen Garage. Chicago Illinois. January 2007.

I took this photo looking through an open front gate, at the CTA's large Forest Glen Garage and maintenance facility on North Elston Avenue.

After many years of operation on Chicago's city streets, the Chicago Transit Authority finally retired the old 1960's era Flxible buses from passenger service during the year of 1986. After retirement, a handful went on to become maintenance work services buses.

This 1960's ers Flxible, apparently seems to have been recently rebuilt with parts from now retired 1985 M.A.N transit buses.
