Electric M.O.W extra. IRM. July 2009.



I photographed this digital live sound video, during a July 2009 visit to the
Illinois Railway Museum in the town of Union Illinois. www.irm.org

I captured this "Rare" behind the scenes image in photos and video, of a museum
"Maintenance Of Way" Extra, performing repairs and inspection to the museum's
overhead trolley wires on the museum mainline.

The photographs I had taken, look like they could have been taken on one of the once
many electric interurban railroads that existed here in the United States many decades ago.

The bell that You hear in the background, is from the museum's former Commonwealth
Edison Comapny EMD SW 1 diesel yard switcher, spotting cars nearby on the museum property.

Yes, this is an actual working museum.

Thanks.
Eddie K.
