Chicago,North Shore, and Milwaukee 2 car Interurban electric train. Illinois Railway Museum. July 1996.

This 2 car set of Chicago,North Shore, and Milwaukee Electric Railroad M.U or Multiple Unit coaches are seen here moving quickly westbound on the museums mainline right of way. These electric interurban coaches were built in the 1920's, and operated between the citties of Chicago Illinois and Milwaukee Wisconsin until January 21 st 1963 when the North Shore line went bankrupt. The car to the left is wearing the 1940's color scheme of Green -Gray -and Red. The car to the right is wearing the 1950 "Silverliner Scheme from when the car was modernized. Those are actually "Not"fluted stainless steel panels on the side of the silverliner. That fluted effect was actually "Painted" on to look like modern Streamliner Cars of the time , such as those on the Santa Fe Superchief, or the Burlington Denver Zephyr trains. The North Shore trains would begin their journey from Chicago to Milwaukee over what is today, the Chicago Transit Authority's elevated rapid transit line on Wabash Avenue at Roosevelt Road. They also used an "L" line to 63rd and Dorchester Street on the South Side.
