Recreating Chicago's electric streetcar era. The Illinois RailwayMuseum. Union Illinois USA. 1995.



I took this photo during a 1995 visit to The Illinois Railway Museum, located in the town of Union Illinois USA. www.irm.org

One feature about the museum's operations I have come to enjoy, is the way that some of the museum's volunteers help set the mood of it all, by trying to visually reanact or recreate how the electric streetcar era in the city of Chicago Illinois must have been like.

This young museum volunteer, is playing the part of a Chicago Surface Lines Company onboard streetcar conductor.
