Overview

The Illinois Railway Museum was founded in 1953 when a group of enthusiasts came together to purchase and preserve an Indiana Railroad interurban car, No. 65. The museum was originally named the Illinois Electric Railway Museum, and its collection includes an impressive array of electrics, including interurbans, streetcars and L cars.
