Interior View of 1951 CTA Electric Trolley Bus

This photograph is an Interior view of a Chicago Transit Authority Electric Trolley Bus. This fine 1951 Marmon Herrington Trolley coach has been preserved at the Illinois Railway Museum located in Union Illinois. I had grown up in Chicago during the 1960's and 70's era, and my family frequently rode these buses on the route #52 Kedzie/ California bus line. Some of the other CTA electric bus routes were -Belmont avenue -Diversey (Chicago's first 1930) 47th st
Pulaski - Cicero avenue -Central Avenue -North Avenue -Fullerton Avenue, and Montrose avenue. Kedzie Avenue electric bus service ended on March 15 1969, as a New Bridge was being built on the Sanitary and Shipping Canal.
