I took this photo on a sunny but cold December afternoon, in late 2007. Although closed for the season with nobody around, the Fox River Trolley Museum made for a nice photo subject in a winter setting. Illinois and other parts of the Midwest, had recently experienced some snowstorm activity. The fresh snow on the ground, crisp winter air, and variable sunshine and clouds, made for some nice photographic conditions.I was passing through South Elgin, and couldn't resist the opportunity to photograph one of My favorite transportation museums.
Seen here are two Chicago Transit Authority 1959 vintage 5-50 series double ended rapid transit cars. These cars were built by the Saint louis Car Company from components that were salvaged from retired and scrapped CTA PCC electric streetcars.
