Museum maintenance of way extra at work. The Illinois Railway Museum. Union Illinois. Friday, July 3rd 2009.

I took this photograph during a July 2009 visit to the Illinois Railway Museum, located in the town of Union Illinois. www.irm.org

You never know what kind of photo opportunities you may find on any given museum visit.

I captured this behind the scenes view of the museum's overhead trolley wire maintenance on the mainline, utilizing a former Commonwealth Edison Company steeple cab electric locomotive, and a former maintenance line car from the former Chicago, North Shore And Milwaukee Railroad.

The museum's on board volunteer crew members, are actually recreating a scene from America's electric interurban railroading past.

Thanks.
Eddie K.
