00:03:43.860 --> 00:03:49.520
Well this group consists mostly of people interested in most any type of mass public transportation.

10
00:03:50.160 --> 00:03:55.800
Our group in Chicago is quite active. We have meetings, we hold charter excursions,

11
00:03:55.800 --> 00:04:00.020
and we have a regular publication for people with this type of an interest.

12
00:04:00.820 --> 00:04:02.760
I understand you have a bus museum there also.

13
00:04:03.200 --> 00:04:06.880
That is correct. Our group owns four trackless trolleys and one motor bus.

14
00:04:07.600 --> 00:04:09.580
In the future we will operate these for the public.

15
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:13.580
Are these all in operating condition or are they antique type buses?

16
00:04:13.880 --> 00:04:18.220
They are in operating condition or as nearly as close to this as possible.

17
00:04:18.300 --> 00:04:22.820
They have not been operated for some time, but they are in good condition.

18
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:26.560
Do you make many tours like this particular one today?

19
00:04:27.200 --> 00:04:32.520
Yes we do. In fact, I have attended the last four trackless trolley abandonments in this country.

20
00:04:33.140 --> 00:04:37.820
I was in Detroit in 1962 in Los Angeles and Cleveland and Atlanta last year.

21
00:04:38.640 --> 00:04:41.840
This particular type bus you are on today, are there very many of them left in the country?

22
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:46.660
Not this particular style. A few cities still have this type of trolley coach, yes.

23
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:51.960
And today I understand you are taking a tour of about four hours in length here.

24
00:04:51.960 --> 00:04:56.120
Yes, that is correct. There are only two lines remaining and we will cover these.

25
00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:00.660
Out of your trip today, just what do you plan to take back to Chicago with you?

26
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:04.700
Mostly just a memory of the trolley coaches and a few pictures thereof.

27
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:33.620
Thank you.

28
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:03.620
Thank you.

29
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:33.620
Thank you.

30
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:03.620
Thank you.

31
00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:33.620
Thank you.

32
00:07:51.960 --> 00:07:52.180
Thank you.
