The Chicago winter of 1967 reanacted? The Midwest Transit Bus Museum. Cresthill Illinois USA. January 2001.

Hello everybody! Welcome to Eddie's Railfan Page! Today is "Bus Day" here at My blog site. I took this photo of a retired Chicago Transit Authority 1955 Flxible / Twin Coach Company propane bus in a snow drift. No, this isn't that awfull
blizard of 1967 that My family talked about. Chicago had an unusually heavy blizzard that winter, and it litterally brought Chicago to it's knees. These buses were in service back then on Chicago's city streets. I have happy childhood memorys of riding these buses growing up during the 1960's and 70's in Chicago. I rode these buses on the Route #82 Homan Kimball Avenue bus line -the Route # 52 Kedzie California Avenue line after electric trolleybuses were phased out in 1969 -the Route #60 Blue Island Avenue line -and on the Route#47 47th Street bus line,
as well as the Ashland and Damen Avenue bus lines. The last CTA propane bus was retired in 1974 after serving time as a maintenance work bus.
The bus in the photo was last used as a storage shed near O'Hare Airport.
This particulair bus does not have any seats inside of it, and is used for tire storage at the bus museum. It is very inoperable.
