mikeymc77 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I remember as a little kid taking the 62 Archer Express downtown and at around 14th and State was a group of buses sitting in a lot. They were never there on weekends only during the day. If memory serves me right, they were older Flxibles mostly 3800s. I also remember that in the late 80s or early 90s buses were in a lot around Randolph and Racine. Some were actually scrapped GMC Fishbowls, but there were active buses there too. And though I only seen a newspaper report about it, does anyone recall a storage yard for buses around 34th and Lawndale. The article was about buses that were vandalized in a storage yard there. But I have no idea when this took place or if I have the right area where this took place. Anyone go back that far??? :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busjack Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 CTA used former CMC lots around 15th and State to avoid having to deadhead back to North Park. The land is probably too expensive now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymc77 Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 I think there is a huge condo building there now. I still wish I could find that article about the buses on Lawndale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
