- In August, I met up with Kuma, Lisa and Kevin of @RailwayLMS for a trip up to the Illinois Railway Museum. We saw lots of interesting stuff, of course, and took a ride on Car 409, a 1923 Interurban train.

Loved the art deco features, and the colour. 👍
The museum also has a later interurban, the Electroliner in a fantastic orange and green striped colour scheme. They’re restoring it to running condition, apparently. And there are some streamlined trains there too. Amazing place, really hard to get to :-(
There’s also the Fox River Trolley Museum in Elgin, but it’s much smaller.
We were limited in time, and had to get the rental car back by 5pm. Next time, maybe.
