3 жыл бұрын2021 Trolley Weekend (previously called Electric Traction weekend) at the IRM. This was the first electric event in two years, and they ran a variety of equipment including Chicago Aurora and Elgin cars, a North Shore car, CTA Skokie Swift cars, the Metra Highliners, and both steam locomotives: Shay 5 and Frisco 1630.

I'm glad to see that the Illinois Railroad Museum has some operating examples of metra's former Illinois Central Buy-Level electrics I hope they're going to be restored back into their Illinois Central color scheme

Two of them are from bombardier and two are from st.louis car company. I think they should paint one of each into illinois central and keep the other two as metra.

@USBCord Well, put my sentiments exactly. Next time I'm in Chicagoland I'm going to visit this place.

@@USBCord I agree paint one example of the two manufactured cars in Illinois Central and the other two have a set of Metra cars I’m wondering if the two cars from the St. Louis car company were built for the Illinois central originally and I’m curious of the origins of the two bombardier cars

The whistle on that blue CA&E CAR sounds the same as the Los Angeles Metro Subway Cars on their Red and Purple subway lines.

20:14 I never heard a horn on a CTA El car before, and this one is more like a buzzer.

CA&E 460 looks terrific and the video could have been shot 60 years ago somewhere west of Wheaton before the sprawl.

Did C.A.& E utilize trolly poles or 3rd rail pick up to power them or was it both? Just wondering. Have a blessed day everyone
