Illinois Terminal interurban coach 101 waits to depart as another Interurban puts on a light show as it pulls from the depot at the Illinois Railway Museum (IRM) on the wet and rainy evening of September 16th, 2023. Behind 101 is Frisco 1630 waiting to pull forward after 101 departs, during the IRM 70th Anniversary at Union, Illinois.
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.
