Trolley Weekend - Amstein Edition

Pictures of Saturday from our staff photographer, Chuck Amstein.   The usual restrictions apply.   Most of these are self-explanatory, I think.  Just remember that all of this operating equipment is 100 years old or more!  Chuck says: "Everything looks like it came out of the factory yesterday."

Folks,
That recently restored and painted Charles City Western #300 looks magnificant!

More Illinois Terminal action at Cold Spring Shops.
