The Illinois Railway Museum by StevenJam The museum was founded in 1953 by ten individuals who joined together to purchase Indiana Railroad interurban car 65. Originally called the Illinois Electric Railway Museum, the name was changed to IRM in 1961 to reflect the museum's expanding scope. The museum was initially located on the grounds of the Chicago Hardware Foundry in North Chicago, Illinois. In 1964 the museum's entire collection was relocated to Union along the former right-of-way of the Elgin & Belvidere interurban. Two years later, operations were begun using Illinois Terminal interurban car 415, and in 1967 the first steam engine was operated.



The first storage barn was erected in 1971. In 1981 a one-mile streetcar loop was constructed. A 4.6-mile railroad line was built during the 1980s and early 1990s. The museum's operations are primarily concentrated around its main campus just east of Union, Illinois. Train rides are offered on the main line as well as the streetcar loop.





Electric trains are operated from April through October, and diesel and steam trains from the beginning of May through the end of September. Trolley bus operation occurs on the Saturdays of the Memorial Day, Independence Day & Labor Day weekends, as well as on "Bus Day", the first Saturday in October. IRM is one of only two railway museums in the country that operates both electric and diesel trains. It is the only museum that offers trolley bus rides. The Illinois Railway Museum for Train Simulator is currently a Work In Progress Route which will have three main stages of release.





Phase 1 will include the Museum's Main Campus including, The 1 mile street car loop, 50th Avenue "L" Station, Track for the whole mainline, Parts of the Union Pacific Belvidere Subdivision. Phase 2 will include, the addition of scenery along the mainline, more foliage and diversity throughout the route. Phase 3 will include, the addition of overhead wires and super detailing certain areas.
