In this podcast, we explore the history of Chicago's once extensive streetcar system, which included over 20 different lines that crisscrossed the city. We'll discuss how streetcars were an essential part of daily life for many Chicagoans and how they influenced the city's development. We'll also delve into why the streetcar system eventually declined and how it was replaced by other forms of transportation. Along the way, we'll search for the last remaining streetcar tracks in the city and uncover some surprising stories about Chicago's streetcar history. Join us as we ride the rails of the past and discover the lost streetcars of Chicago.
