The 'Liner

On a brisk afternoon in the mid-1950's, the silence of the day in Southern Wisconsin is broken by a blur of Salmon and Turquoise.

That blur is the Electroliner, one of 2 built for the North Shore in 1941 by the St. Louis Car Company. The pair of trains made 5 round trips a day between Chicago and Milwaukee at the blistering time of 1 hour and 50 minutes. They ran from 1941 until abandonment of the North Shore on January 21, 1963. Both trainsets are preserved today.

As a side note, this is the first artwork I've done where I've purposely left off the lineart. I may or may not do more like this in the future.

Until next time,
Zach
