Re: March 11 in RR History

March 11, 1951 Chicago trolley route 3 (Lincoln-Indiana) was broken into 2 routes and the Lincoln portion, from Peterson to Adams, was converted to bus operation. This completed the conversion of Lincoln Avenue to bus operation which began on February 18 when route 40 (Lincoln-Wells) went bus. Concurrently with this conversion, the old car barn at Wrightwood and Lincoln was closed and operators were assigned to other stations. This was one of Chicago's oldest car barns. The Indiana portion remained rail as route 38? and operated from the Navy Pier to 51st Street.? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
