Zachary Ehlers, the president of Illinois Railway Museum, offered guided tours of an electrified 1926 rail car on July 26, 2026. This event was part of Railroad Days at Pullman National Historical Park, located on Chicago’s Far South Side.
The electric trains, which made their debut 100 years ago, replaced steam locomotives for commuter services along the south lakefront. This shift marked a significant moment in transportation history.
During the weekend event, attendees had the chance to explore historical rail cars and enjoy rides on a miniature train. These activities provided an engaging experience for railway enthusiasts and families alike.
