Zoom meeting Number 840 3996 5430    Passcode  572661

In a reprise of last year’s Zoom program, we’ll go beyond the hourly Limiteds and Electroliners on the Skokie valley Route to Milwaukee and instead focus on the other sections of the system. We’ll begin with a quick trip over the “L” in order to travel over the North Shore’s original line on the Shore Line Route. Heavy riding, short trips, and frequent stops best described the passenger service on this route.

We’ll also travel over the North Shore’s only branch line, the route to Mundelein, where passenger service consisted of expresses to and from Chicago mixed in with a few lonely runs of the Lake Bluff-Mundelein shuttle. There was significant freight traffic over the line as the North Shore maintained carload freight connections with the EJ&E at Rondout and the Soo Line at Mundelein.

This program will also be presented on Zoom (CERA members only) for those members unable to attend the meeting in person.
