North Shore Line #714 at the Illinois Railway Museum in 2004

North Shore Line #714 is a Coach Interurban Car built by the Cincinnati Car Company in 1926. It is one of 34 such cars built between 1923 and 1926. The North Shore Line’s proper name was the Chicago, North Shore & Milwaukee Railroad. As the name suggests, it ran between Chicago, IL and Milwaukee, WI along the shore of Lake Michigan. The North Shore Line shut down January 21, 1963. These cars served until the North Shore Line ceased operation, and cars similar to this one were used in the last North Shore Line trains.
