Chicago City Railway
The Chicago City Railway (CCRy) was a transit company that operated horse, cable, and electric streetcars on Chicago’s South Side between 1859 and 1914, when it became part of the Chicago Surface Lines (CSL). After that time it owned electric streetcars, gasoline, diesel, and propane busses. Purchased by the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) in 1947, it was liquidated in 1950.
== Beginnings ==
In the 1850s Chicago was growing and better public transportation was needed. Horse drawn omnibuses were shuttling passengers between railroad stations by 1853, but roads were often muddy and travel was very difficult. In 1858 omnibus operator Frank Parmelee and a group of investors were awarded a city franchise for a rail horsecar line, but legal challenges caused them to seek a state charter instead. On February 14, 1859 the Chicago City Railway Co. was incorporated and in two months horsecars were running on State St. between Randolph and 12th St.
