The 2024 Chicago Transit Authority Historical Calendar is here, ready to be downloaded onto your computer. This is an annual calendar put out by the CTA that features photographs of 'L' trains, buses, streetcars, and stations throughout Chicago. And unlike last year, most of the photographs are black and white images showing the Chicago of a bygone era, such as the one above, selected for the month of November. It shows a Chicago Surface Lines streetcar passing under the Douglas Park 'L' at Lawndale. Although there are notes giving details about each photograph, the year this particular photo was taken was not mentioned. The Chicago Surface Lines was the predecessor of the CTA, and the operator of the city's transit lines between 1913 and 1947. Definitely before my time. As for my sister Susan, no comment.
