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.
