Street car at 115th and Cottage Grove in 1955393 viewsStreet car in the picture are not actually "Green Hornets." They were built in the 1930s and they were known as "Blue Geese." They got their name because they were painted dark blue and cream. They originally ran on Madison Street with a conductor and motorman on board. You entered only through the three front doors. The conductor sat in the middle of the car just before the center doors and collected fare as the passengers went by. You had to leave the car by the center or rear doors.

Green Hornet streetcar at 119th and Morgan298 viewsThis is a Green Hornet streetcar at 119th and Morgan on the Broadway State line. It is about to depart and head back through Roseland to the far north side. It was probably taken when the car was new in the late 1940s.
This Green Hornet was built by Pullman. Kind of interesting to compare the old red Pullman streetcar in the first picture with this car. They were about 40 years apart in technology, but the CTA scrapped both around the same time! Incedentally, the CTA had the St. Louis Car Company salvage parts from the Pullman-built Green Hornets to make rapid transit cars for the Chicago El in the 1950s.
