Preserved Illinois Terminal Railroad lightweight interurban car # 415. The Illinois Railway Museum. Union Illinois. Friday, July 3rd 2009.

I took this photo last year during a Family visit to The Illinois Railway Museum, located in the small town of Union Illinois.

One of the operating electric streetcar relics I have ridden on many times at The Illinois Railway Museum, is preserved 1920's era Illinois Terminal Railroad car # 415. It was used in suburban streetcar service between St. Louis Missouri and Granite City Illinois until the end of service in 1958.

Today it hauls tourists on the museum's trolley loop that circles the property.
