Let's Ride the Sheboygan Car!

In April 2012, two tram enthusiasts from Gothenburg, Sweden visited Chicago. A highlight of their stay was a visit to the East Troy Electric Railroad, where a bunch of us chartered the magnificently restored Sheboygan Light, Power & Railway Co. 26 for a trip over the old TMER&L interurban line between East Troy and Mukwonago. Note that car 26 sported American and Swedish flags for the occasion.

An overcast sky parted just in time for a photo stop along Lower Phantom Lake in Mukwonago, affording us the best photo opportunity of the day.

Then, as we arrived at the Phantom Woods depot, a Swedish song blared over the loudspeaker to welcome the visitors. Later, a tree branch dangling over the track provided an unplanned photo opportunity.

On the drive back to Chicago, we detoured to Kenosha to ride a Toronto PCC car around the streetcar loop.
