  • Cta 2016 Historical Calendar Cta 2016 January
    cta 2016 Historical Calendar cta 2016 January Chicago Motor Coach Company (CMC) bus #434, manufactured by the Ford Motor Company, was part of a fleet of buses operated by the Chicago Motor Coach Company, one of the predecessor transit companies that were eventually assimilated into the Chicago Transit Authority. The CMC originally operated buses exclusively on the various park boulevards in Chicago, and became known by the marketing slogan, “The Boulevard Route.” Later, service was expanded to operate on some regular streets not served by the Chicago Surface Lines, particularly on the fringes of the city. Chicagoans truly wanted a unified transit system, and it was for this reason that the Chicago Transit Authority was established by charter in 1945. The CMC was not one of the initial properties purchased that made up CTA’s inaugural services on October 1, 1947; however, it was bought by CTA in 1952.

    Official Publication of Northeastern Region THE SUNRISE TRAIL DIVISION, INC. National Model Railroad Association VOLUME 35 NUMBER 1 SPRING 2005 MODELING MINEOLA a heavily traveled main, two junctions and a variety of traffic make an old standby a gem to model / WALTER WOHLEKING CONTEMPORARY TRENDS in layout design encourage model railroaders to emu- late a prototype with their selection of loco- motives, cars and scenery, to execute their trackplans with prototype-appropriate Layout Design Elements (LDEs), and to operate according to prototype practices employing staging. Because all of this is a lot easier said than done, result often play lip service to concept, and good intentions metamorphose into a collection of rolling stock lettered for the prototype passing through a fictional location on a route that never existed, all regulated by a fast clock to increase the frequency of train appearances and operating interest. Make no mistake about it. This can be a formula for a very satisfying model rail- roading experience. But if emulating the prototype is really what is desired, then it can also be a stretch. Model railroading is truly the art of compromise, and as its prac- titioners model railroaders daily face that challenge from concept through construc- tion to operation of their creations. If truth be told, however, the universal aim of rail- road modelers everywhere is to find a rea- son for as many different locomotives as possible with as many different consists as possible to have as many different things to do as often as possible on their layouts. Without heavily massaging reality, most Few pictures better illustrate Mineola’s modeling potential than this 1953 photograph by William prototypes don't cooperate much toward E.

    BSRA Entertainment Report for August 1, 2015 LONG FORM (for historical record) Entertainment Report for August 1, 2015 August 1, 2015. San Francisco's F Line. Peter Ehrlich has been an operator on San Francisco's F Line until 2005, and has operated heritage and modern streetcars, and even buses. Tonight, he presented San Francisco's famous F Line, America's most successful heritage streetcar line, with the digital slideshow being accompanied by handouts of the F Line's streetcar roster and route map. The Market Street Railway is a private booster organization that supports the F Line, but does not run it; it has offices in the Flood Building (which we got to see later in the show). It is not cirectly related to the Market Street Railway Company of 1857 - 1944, although it is named after this transit company. San Francisco's Municipal Railway (MUNI) runs the F Line, and is also responsible for maintining the streetcars, and charges the same fare for riding on them (the only MUNI vehicles that charge a different fare are the cable cars). As Peter's first images showed us, the F Line began official operation on September 1, 1995, with a 20 streetcar parade led by the Blackpool "boat tram" (built in 1934) that the F Line had at the time; however, much work had already been done to establish it by this time, for it was an outgrowth of the San Francisco Historic Trolley Festivals that started in 1983 to serve as a replacement tourist attraction while the cablecar system was shut down for major overhaul from 1982 - 1984.
