Your host and photographer Eddie K driving an old 1950 General Motors transit bus. Photographed at the Midwest Transit Bus Museum in Cresthill Illinois. September 2000.

 

From 2000 until 2002, I was a member of a relatively unknown group

of Chicago area bus enthusiasts, known as The Midwest Transit Bus

Museum. This was a group of men, who had a collection of retired

vintage antique transit buses, which were stored in an industrial storage

lease lot at Route # 53 and Caton Farm Road in Cresthill Illinois. This

group was much like an antique auto club, for people who enjoyed buses.

 

Here I am at the museum's annual September 2000 "Member's Day" event.

Here I am driving (Under supervison) preserved West Towns Bus Company

1950 General Motors 40 foot transit bus # 776. This bus is operable,and

was being used for a number of local Chicago area civic parades and events.

 

Thanks.

Eddie K.
