1960's era CTA Flxible transit coach at 63rd place and south Kedzie Avenue. July 1985.

Hello Everyone!
Welcome to Eddie's Railfan Page. Todays posting is dedicated to all the "Bus Fans" at My blog site.
We will start this "Bus Day" posting with a "Retro" photograph from the mid 1980's on Chicago's Southwest side.
This photograph was taken at the route # 52 Kedzie / California Avenue south terminal at South Kedzie Avenue and 63rd Place. I took this photograph in July of 1985. The old bus in the foreground is a mid 1960's era Flxible new look transit coach. This bus and its members of that fleet were in their last year of service. The old Flxibles were retired from service in 1986. The bus in the background is a 1970's era GMC New Look coach. The GMC's were retired from service a decade later in 1996. From 1955 to 1969, this bus turnaround terminal was used by Chicago Transit Authority "Electric Trolleybuses".
