North Shore Line #604 at the Illinois Railway Museum in 2004

North Shore Line #604 is a line car used for maintenance. It was built by the North Shore Line’s predecessor, the Chicago & Milwaukee Electric Railway, in 1914. It became a North Shore Line car when the C&MER was renamed the Chicago, North Shore & Milwaukee Railroad in 1916. This car served until the North Shore shut down in 1963, and may have been used in dismantling the line.
