Title:
Fort Wayne Transit Toy Bus
Description:
In 1948 the Fort Wayne Transit Company was formed and by the mid 1950s, use of motor buses was on the rise. The electric buses disappeared, as did the overhead electric lines and tracks that had made Main and Calhoun the busiest intersection in the city. This toy bus from the early 1950s is an accurate representation of the first gas powered buses used by the Fort Wayne Transit Company.
