That's got to be the most decrepit lunch wagon I've ever seen. <br /><br />You can find more pictures of it under the LoC site, as one of the commenters pointed out. I'm sure this was a motor bus originally. The hooks on the roof have nothing to do with trolley poles, but there was a platform on top of the roof at the rear for carrying luggage.<br /><br />There are a couple of stoves sitting outside behind the bus, as though the food was cooked outside and then brought in somehow, or handed in through the window. And it was located very near an L structure.<br /><br />Thanks, that was really depressing.Randall Hickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16246581917018679919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810478746663531557.post-67853265294840828242013-05-13T11:51:28.922-05:002013-05-13T11:51:28.922-05:00Chicago diner on Shorpy

I was fairly surprised at the enormous amounts of pedestrians in the loop. The safety islands were a sort of frightening proposition, and defensive driving seems not to have caught on..yet. What would be interesting is to see if buses had the same accident rate or less...I would think it would have remained a constant as many of these crazy car drivers, we all see today.Bruce Duensinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06770861553045757360noreply@blogger.com
