Chicago, Illinois, was once a major electric railway hub! Help us celebrate that heritage and the 100th Birthday of Chicago South Shore and South Bend Railway Cars 6, 9, and 13! These cars were built during 1926 in Chicago at the large Pullman Car and Manufacturing Company plant. They operated between Randolph Street in Chicago and South Bend, Indiana, until retirement in 1983. Our other operating train of the day will be the beautifully restored CSS&SB Car 33.
Meet the volunteers, historians, and other dignitaries keeping South Shore Line history alive! The South Shore Line will have several educational exhibits on display, including on the new Monon Corridor! Dignitaries from the South Shore Line, NICTD, Pullman National Historic Park, and the National Park Service will be on site ready to answer questions about their history with the preservation of several of our CSS&SB cars.
At 2:30, Birthday Cake and Punch will be served in the Depot, followed by a presentation delivered by historian Bruce Moffat in the VIP tent outside the East Troy Depot at 3:00. A drawing for various prizes will be held at the East Troy Depot following the return of the last train at 4:30!
