Rail & Wire #168 1997 Nov/Dec High Wire Act
Official Publication of the Illinois Railway Museum. It is published 6 times a year. Cover : Taken from atop the Museum's active overhead line car, CNS&M 604, this picture clearly demonstrates the appropriateness of the name Rail & Wire... not to mention the excellent condition of our Demonstration Railway's arrow-straight track. The roof of the car is insulated to allow work on the overhead wire to be safely performed with the wire energized.Photo by Peter Schmidt
