I have been visiting the Illinois Railway Museum on and off for many years since 1974, and I have always enjoyed those rare unexpected behind the scenes photos one can obtain when they point their cameras in the right direction.
I was definately in the right place at the right time, when I spotted this museum maintenance extra at work on their mainline. With vintage maintenance equipment like the orange Chicago, North Shore & Milwaukee Railroad overhead line car, and the black steeple cab electric locomotive from Chicago's Commonwealth Edison Company coupled together, We have practically reanacted a scene of electric interurban railroading from past decades ago! Nice one! A special Thank You is due to the museum's electrical maintenance department and the skilled volunteers who make it happen here.
