January 16, 1960. It was about 1 o'clock on a cool, crisp, sunny Saturday afternoon at the Lake Bluff stop of the
Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee interurban railroad. The North Shore was one of America's very last operating
interurbans when I photographed a group of cadets from the nearby Great Lakes Naval Training Center climbing aboard
a southbound train for a weekend of fun and relaxation in downtown Chicago. The attentive motorman is keeping an eye
on the conductor for the two-bell start signal while at the same time observing what I was doing with my camera.
The once busy line was abandoned three years later, almost to the day. 35mm Kodachrome by William D. Volkmer.
