Route 7 was transferred to the Cumberland garage and routes 70 and D opened up new bus facilities at Callowhill. New bus facilities also opened at Luzerne with routes O, XA, XO, and 89 moving there from Cumberland and route R from Comly. The plain 8000s from route 7 went to route 33 while the CEOM cars from routes 33 and 70 were retired to Southern. The postwar Mack buses from route D replaced prewar Macks on routes 30 and 88 and old Brills on route 89. Routes 90 and XB also got Macks but still used Twins. All postwar Ford buses were retired with routes M, O, P, X, XA, XO, and 25 getting prewar Brills while the 2 Fords from route 14 were replaced by Twins. Prewar Macks replaced the same vintage Brills on routes N and W. On Sundays and holidays, postwar Macks were used on routes N, T, W, Y, and 73.? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?May 29, 1969 The NYCTA's new R-42 subway cars began service on the A; some later ran mixed in trains with R-10s.? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? May 30, 1954 Chicago's red cars were officially retired with the conversions of routes 8 and 42 (Halsted Street), 16 (Lake Street), 21 (Cermak Road), and 52 (Kedzie-California) to bus operation. These conversions closed Kedzie and Limits as car barns as they were being converted to bus garages. The conversions made Chicago's trolley system all-PCC operated with the cars running on routes 4 (Cottage Grove), 22 (Clark-Wentworth), 36 (Broadway-State), and 49 (Western Avenue), which still ran buses on weekends and holidays.? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Dennis M Linsky
