JOLIET TRANSIT FACILITIES

CAR HOUSES/BUS GARAGES

Present and past.


An early Joliet Street Railway car house for horse cars was located at the northeast corner of 2nd Ave. and Spring, southeast of downtown Joliet. Spring apparently no longer exists as a street, having existed one block east of Iowa Ave., and a short distance east of a creek.

Beginning in the 1890's, electric streetcar service was based at a car house located on the east side of St. Louis St., south of Marion St. and north of Osgood St. That apparently remained until the end of streetcar service, in 1934.

The Joliet bus garage address for many years has been 9 Osgood St. Or earlier, alternatively expressed as 175 St. Louis St. Basically on the west side of St. Louis St., across from the former car house location. The present garage was built in 1985.
