The Fox River Trolley Museum. South Elgin Illinois. Early September 1990.

I took this photograph, during a 1990 visit to the Fox River Trolley Museum, located along the west bank of the Fox River, in the town of South Elgin Illinois.

Railroad museum's often can be the home to some unique size comparisons in vintage railway equipment on site.

The car to the left, is a streamlined postwar PCC electric city streetcar from the San Francisco Municipal Railway. The car to the right, is a heavy weight electric interurban coach from the Chicago, South Shore And South Bend Railroad.

An interesting comparison indeed.

Thanks.
