The color from the red signal gives the look of fall color as Illinois Terminal interurban coach 101 sits on the main next to the depot at the Illinois Railway Museum (IRM) in the dark on September 16th, 2023. It waits for a green signal to proceed at Union Illinois, during the IRM 70th Anniversary celebration where the museum ran trains continuously from 11am Saturday morning to 5pm Sunday afternoon, which gave a rare opportunity to photograph much of their equipment during nighttime hours. According to the IRM website: Illinois Terminal 101 is a rare example of a center-entrance interurban coach. It operated its entire service life between St. Louis, Missouri and Alton, Illinois. These cars were built for high-speed operation and were known as “Yellowhammers” and “Alton High-speeds.” The car has been restored to its appearance in the mid-1950s.
