Seen here between another demonstration run on the museum's mainline, are two former Chicago, North Shore & Milwaukee Railroad electric interurban coaches. These coaches travelled daily between Chicago Illinois and Milwaukee Wisconsin until January 21st 1963, when the line was shut down due to bankruptcy. It's too bad the North shore Line didn't survive, as the traffic congestion on Interstate I-94 can be tough these days. Parts of the old C,N S & Msurvive today as a bicycle trail in north suburban places like Winetka and Ravinia.
