CHICAGO STREETCARS - 1914
1914 was the year when Chicago's various streetcar companies were unified into the Chicago Surface Lines, while technically remaining separate companies. Chicago's entire streetcar system had become electrically powered in 1906, when the cable car system was phased out.

At the time, route numbers had been adopted for internal use. But only the "Through Routes" were identified to the public by number.
