Busjack Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 6 hours ago, Busjack said: Maybe the difference is the traffic island now separating the left turn lane on Ridge to Clark. I was just talking to someone who lived at the time in downtown Evanston, and she jumped in and said "that's exactly right. That traffic island is horrible, especially if you have to cross over from Green Bay to the left turn lane." To get back to the topic, here is an interesting picture of a UMC Elgin bus in front of a GBC bus at Davis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And spewed gasoline or diesel fumes into the passenger compartment. At least the TDH45xxs I rode did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrethebusman Posted April 13 Author Report Share Posted April 13 The point I was making was years ago left turns were not allowed at Ridge and Church SB so routing via Clark and Oak was necessary. Davis and Ridge was a tight turn too, so both ways via Oak made sense. Note too 50 (250) went up Oak from Dempster to Church, as did Evanston 7 Davis.

andrethebusman Posted April 13 Author Report Share Posted April 13 Still looking for two United forms - #7 and #13. 13 definitely was the summer service to Antioch. 7 should be locals from Golf Mill to Wheeling, Des Plaines, Glenview, Milwaukee & Imlay. Also, anybody have a form showing route 23 local in Arlington Heights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
