Kankakee
Kankakee Electric Railway Co.
To facilitate transfers between lines, Kankakee trolleys met at the Court Street - East Avenue corner every 20 minutes.  Car 23 is headed for West Kankakee.  The car immediately behind is  #30, one of two pre-Birney streetcars (#30 and #31) that the KER purchased from the St. Louis Car Company in 1916.  This photo was taken in the early 1920's.  The line lasted until December 1, 1931.
