Grayline Sightseeing replica trolley bus at a local maintenace facility. Chicago Illinois USA. Early May 2006.

Grayline trolley. Chicago 2006.

Hello everyone!

Welcome aboard the "Bus Day" edition of Eddie's Railfan Page from the city of Chicago Illinois USA.

I took this photo at a local bus and truck heavy contract maintenance repair facility at South Pulaski Road at what would approximately be West 34th Street on private property, in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood on the near southwest side of the city.

It is the Spring of 2006, and the busy sightseeing tourist season is getting underway once again here in the city of Chicago Illinois. This rubber tired modern characture bus replica of an early 1900's era electric streetcar, is seen parked behind a chain link fence at a local heavy contract repair maintenance gargae that services both buses and trucks. It is important, that this sightseeing trolley bus in in good working order before the city is flooded with summertime visiting tourists.

Needless to say, these buses are astheticly pleasing. They even have a trolley bell for the operator to ring. Clang Clang!
