  • 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.

Fresh from fall colors trips to and from the East Coast, starting today the historic Amtrak “Great Dome” rail car will provide a unique opportunity to experience city and prairie views to and from Chicago as it adds extra seating capacity to super-size the busy trains. The dome car features an upper level with windows on all sides – as well as overhead – to provide passengers with panoramic views. The dome section runs the full length of the car, a rare feature even when dome cars were more numerous on the nation’s railroads.

  • BSRA 2015-08-01 Entertainment Report
    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.
