100 Years of the North Shore Line: 714 and 715 Birthday Celebrations

Become A Youtube Member Today    / stevenjam   One hundred years ago, North Shore Line cars 714 and 715 entered revenue service for the very first time. A century later, they aren't just museum pieces—they are still operational, still carrying passengers, and still telling the story of one of America’s most famous interurban railroads. In this video, we celebrate 100 years of continuous operation as we follow both cars across the Fox River Trolley Museum and the Illinois Railway Museum. From high-speed chases to exclusive interviews, we look at what it takes to keep these steel interurbans running a century after they left the factory in 1926. What’s in this video: Fox River Trolley Museum: A deep dive into Car 715, including an interview with motorman Jacob and a "rolling chase" featuring Chicago Aurora and Elgin 458. Illinois Railway Museum: We head west to catch Car 714 in action at East Union Depot and sit down with Museum President Zach to discuss 714’s incredible legacy. Living History: See how the "North Shore Line" spirit lives on through the dedication of volunteers and the excitement of the crowds during this Mother's Day centennial event.
