This tired-looking interurban is ex-Chicago Aurora & Elgin 451, St Louis Car built in 1946. It was part of the last series of standard interurban cars built in the US, seen here on August 12 2002. In 1962 it was acquired by Trolleyville USA, in Olmsted Falls OH. Later 451 was painted yellow and green to simulate a Cleveland & Southwestern car. This car was acquired by the Illinois Railway Museum in 2009 and is now undergoing restoration work.
