Re: Tuscarora Almanac for September 8

Posted by Steve B-8AVEXP on Sun Sep 8 10:40:43 2019, in response to Tuscarora Almanac for September 8, posted by IRTRedbirdR33 on Sun Sep 8 09:40:21 2019.

Another last run occurred today in 1957, although it might have been on the 7th, since September 8 was a Sunday in '57.

Service on the northern half of Chicago's lone remaining streetcar route, #22 Clark-Wentworth, was discontinued. Green Hornet 7158 made the last run. After this date, the southern half along Wentworth Ave. soldiered on until June 21, 1958. Streetcars began looping at Kinzie, at which point they turned southward along Clark At. Buses had been substituting for streetcars on weekends along this route since 1954.
