Libertyliners Arrive
In 1941 the North Shore Line received a pair of deluxe streamlined articulated trains named Electroliners. The two train sets made five trips each way between Chicago and Milwaukee logging millions of miles in service. After abandonment of the North Shore Line the Philadelphia Suburban Transportation Co., commonly known as the Red Arrow Lines, purchased the two trains and after rehabilitation operated them in rush hour service between the 69th Street Elevated terminal in Upper Darby, Penna. and Norristown. The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) continued to operate the trains for a few years. Both trainsets are now in museums with the one at the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, Ill. externally restored to its Electroliner configuartion.
This video features film from Richard Vible of the arrival of the trainsets at Upper Darby. A Pennsylvania Railroad diesel switcher moves the trains to the Red Arrow Lines tracks and from there box motor 402 brings the cars to the shops.

I used to ride the "el" in the late 40s as a kid but I don't remember this one..I may have seen it but have no memory but do recall the green ones with the ribbed overhangs on each end of the cars (don't know what else to call that look) :)
No. From what one of the people there told me the reistors are gone as well as a few other essential things. However the Rockhill Trolley Museum did run it once as a dinner train. It was the only time I ever rode the 803-804.
Con Cor is coming out with a Liner model in HO later this year.Better order now if you want one: they'll sell faster than an express run to Edison Court.
As to the Electroliner at IRM, it's beautifully restored to its 1941 paint scheme- but rarely run, It draws so much electricity the museum circuit breakers pop- so for now it sits on silent display.
I ride the cta everyday to work,and I see the skeleton of Wilson ave. (platforms 1 and 4). I can imagine how those outside platforms performed an important purpose for North Shore Interurban. Today, the station is just rotting away. A mere shadow of its great self. What a shame.
The North Shore Electroliners were perhaps the greatest communter trains ever designed.
Such a shame that only one now exists in the Illinois Railway Museum.
I did the transfer myself using parts of a Cinemate film transfer setup with a Chinon projector with variable speed and reverse capability. Some processing is done in the computer afterward to compensate for speed and color problems.
