Ed Halstead's Chicago & Utopia


I spotted this video on You Tube.

Part of the attraction of being a railfan for Myself, is that there was at one time a great variety of railroad styles of operation in Chicago many years ago.

I was born too late to experience it Myself firsthand here in Chicago, but nonetheless...I have always had a fascination with the once many electric interurban railroads and electric streetcar lines, that once had served the greater Chicagoland area,

Seen here is Chicago railfan Ed Halstead's O Scale Chicago & Utopia railroad.
This O scale model railroad, features electric interurban style railroading, with many Chicago area and midwest prototypes operating side by side.
