My compliments to IRM! 801-802 looks fantastic and everyone who has been involved in the restoration of this train has justified reasons to be proud. Having been involved with the troubleshooting, repair parts sourcing, and repair work to make sister train 803-804 operable (in a very limited fashion) a decade ago, I can really appreciate how much work it must have taken for IRM’s team to get this far. Well done!
The SOUTH SHORE LINE didn't have the traffic between South Bend and Chicago like the North Shore Line did between Milwaukee and Chicago. That's why they never had any Electroliner Trainsets.
Thanks for a great ride, Electropickle! It has been over sixty-five years since I rode with a friend to Milwaukee and back. Oh yes, Electroburgers were enjoyed! The Electroliner looks great!
Oh, my!! How nice to go along for the ride ... again! I grew up in Racine and one house was about a block away from the North Shore Line ... really liked watching the trains go by, and of course, going to Milwaukee and Chicago on one. Thanks for posting!! [Greetings from Tucson where we do have 8 Amtrak trains/week.]
The electroliner was basically bankrupted because of Mayor Daley's refusal to let it coming to Chicago proper people had to get off and get on a bus because of that bastard not watching Republicans you to his Democratic. Of course this was the age before liberalism and worshipping the residence of the ghetto which way is it nice neighborhood when certain other people used to live there but not anymore but no one talks about that Tuesday o-east for Bolton
@johnrich2102: I think it was. It sounded similar to what you hear the bells on crossing gates only louder. Actually there's 2 floor pedals for the gong on the Electroliner one for just the single bell sound and the other for the air or what I call the Alarm-gong sounding what I just described before. You would hear the gongs when running in Milwaukee's City Streets and when entering and leaving the Main Milwaukee Terminal since it encountered street running to do so.
@kohnrich2102: The gong could be operated either air or foot operated. Air operated it sounded similar like the bell on the crossing gates except louder. Similar let's say to the old South Shore Line cars.

Thank you, Matt, I have shared your comments with the Electroliner restoration team.
I sure wish they could get 803-804 too! And restore that train as well.
803-804 are still at The Rock Hill Furnace Museum at Orbisonia PA.
@mattnawn5019: I sure wish we also had Electroliner #803,804 at the ILLINOIS Railroad Museum. It took can be refurbished further.

Wasn't the Electroliner's bell (or gong if you prefer) air operated originally?
