North Shore Album, Part 1

Thanks to Art Peterson for sending us more pictures of IRM cars on their original lines from the Krambles-Peterson archives.  Time to start on the North Shore Line, with cars 160, 251, and 253.

160

No date or photographer for this shot, but it sure looks cool!  

The following pictures were taken by George Krambles.

251

The 251 heading a train at North Chicago Junction, c. 1932.  I believe all these cars are in the orange paint scheme.

In front of the Highwood office building, in green.  June 18, 1939.

253

253 leading a train at speed, crossing River Rd. in July 1940.

                                                 Northbound at Glenview on Dec. 31, 1960.
