I took this photograph during a July 2009 family outing, to the
Illinois Railway Museum, located in the town of Union Illinois.
Photos and news stories from the IRM, can be found at their web
site page www.irm.org.
Prior to our arrival at the museum that day, the museum was having
technical difficulties. A section of trolley wire on the mainline had
somehow broken off or came loose. I was treated to a rare and very
vintage looking behind the scenes view, of some of the museum's
volunteer crew members, repairing the overhead wire with vintage
electric railway maintenance equipment motors, just as it was a good
60 to 70 years ago or more here in the United States and Canada.
