2014 Trolley Pageant

Here is the official announcement for this year's Trolley Pageant from Joe Stupar:

Following on the heels of last year's 60 cars for 60 years event, the Illinois Railway Museum is proud to announce the first all-day trolley parade event ever! On Saturday, July 5th, starting with the 10:30 AM departure,  all parade equipment will operate in revenue service with passengers on board.  That's right: each consist will enter the main depot and board passengers. You might say, "That's going to take all day..." And you may be right.  If there is something unique that you always wanted ride but couldn't, this is the day. In addition to the main line, several streetcars will also be operating on the streetcar loop.

This timetable is for informational purposes only. The usual disclaimers apply: This event is subject to weather, mechanical condition of equipment, and anything else that may happen between now and then.
