There were never any trolley buses east of Western on Diversey. The only trolley route was west of Western, and that was abolished in 1955 (according to Lind), when the old CMC route 34 was combined with 76. Since, in the latter years, it and Addison were run out of Keeler barn, it probably had 8500 series new look Flxs with the parallelogram windows. If your reference to trolley buses was to Belmont, in the late 60s and early 70s, the trolley buses were Marmon Herringtons, as older brands were phased out by then.
