[@albertcarello619]

Part of the museum trackage sure looks like the South Shore Line!!!

Magnifique ! Merci pour ce formidable travail de conservation. Au moment où la planète s'interroge à propos de la décarbonation des transports, voici un témoignage de l'intelligence du passé !

Fantastic event, looking forward to celebrating the 70th anniversary of the museum this year. It was awesome meeting you there I hope our channels appear at the museum again soon! Great video👍

Wow! That is so cool! Great history and thoroughly enjoyed the video!

[@TWIGYBNSF]

Thanks a bunch!

What an EXCELLENT Video! I want to shake your hand while I get a Klennex to wipe the TEARS from my eyes as the scene from about 9:12 reminds me so, so, much of the South Shore Line's Orange Cars that had that very same A-2 Type Horn, and going 45-50 mph down the Right Of Way through Gary, Indiana between 2nd and 3rd Avenues! It is no doubt that the Railroading World lost a GEM when the North Shore exited from the business! Again, an EXCELLENT piece of work! :)

What a nice video, the old and the present day, some are had to tell apart !!

Terrific video!! Restoration on NSL equipment has been beautiful at IRM and a trip to the museum is a must for every rail enthusiast.

[@TWIGYBNSF]

Thanks! Also, East Troy has done fantastic work, and they're working on another merchandise dispatch car

[@johndonlon1611]

@@TWIGYBNSF I wish IRM could engineer a trade-off with Seashore to get #415 diner car. That woud be the iceing on the cake for any NSL collection.

[@WesternOhioInterurbanHistory]

Footage at the beginning is awesome! Love the shots of interurbans at speed!

Loved this! Where did you find the Jim Martin footage? I’ve been looking all over for NSL footage but can’t seem to find much.

[@TWIGYBNSF]

I had asked him directly for special permission to use his videos

[@brandonharris7516]

I’ve been there

Bitter cold day

[@TWIGYBNSF]

But no snow :c

[@luislaplume8261]

Put 3rd rail shoes on these interurban trolleys and they will be able to run on the L lines of Chicago! 😊

[@marvwatkins7029]

Unfortunately, the Electroliner could not operate.

My son is special needs and he really likes interurbans 🚋🛤 he thinks they are highly underrated forms of public transportation and all should be preserved, restored, and put back into service carrying passengers between cities just like they use to. He also thinks that the entire North Shore Line should be rebuilt and used again as well as the Chicago, Aurora, & Elgin, the Sacramento Northern, and Pacific Electric but he does not want that to be wishful thinking he wants it to be a reality!
