“60 years ago, the CTA ran its last streetcar.
So, you could call this final Green Hornet run down Vincennes Avenue on June, 21 1958, “A Streetcar Named Retire.”
Bus service gradually replaced streetcars throughout Chicago, but the old streetcar tracks are buried under many streets. Fascinating video of that last run.”
