Recreating a scene from American electric interurban railroading past. The Illinois Railway Museum. Union Illinois USA. July 1996.

Preserved interlocking tower from Spaulding Illinois. The Illinois Railway Museum. Union Illinois. July 1996.

I took this photo on a July 1996 visit to the Illinois Railway Museum, located in the town of Union Illinois. Preserved Spaulding interlocking tower , a wig wag signal and two Chicago, North Shore & Milwaukee Railroad interurban cars....are reanacting a scene from electric interurban style railroading from decades past.
A pleasant reminder of day to day life from many years past, now gone.
