The Chicago Transit Authority Route # 76 Diversey Avenue bus line west terminal at West Diversey and North Neva Avenues. Chicago Illinois USA. November 2006.

I took this photo in November of 2006.

Seen here waiting to begin it's next eastbound departure from the bus terminal loop at West Diversey and North Neva Avenues, is a Chicago Transit Authority Route # 76 Diversey Avenue bus.

This CTA bus route , became Chicago's first electric powered trolleybus line in 1930. Electric trolleybus operation on the CTA Route # 76 Diversey Avenue line, existed from 1930 until 1955.

Some historic photos of this line and several other routes that utilized electric trolleybuses in Chicago pror to the end of service in March of 1973, can be viewed at My Link page "Tom's Trolleybus Pictures" located to the right of Your computer screen at www.trolleybuses.net
