Railfanning The East Troy Electric 5/30/2009

After our excursion on Milwaukee Streetcar No. 846 ends, activity on the ETER picks up.

The video starts as 846 departs East Troy for another excursion. Shortly thereafter, No. 21, a replica of a late 19th or early 20th century open streetcar, returns from its first run.

Next the 21 is caught crossing State Highway 20, the only signalized grade crossing on the railroad, on its way back out of East Troy. The crossing has two of the rare WRRS motor-driven bells. We chase it alongside County ES to a runby shot at N. Army Lake Road.

Meanwhile, 846 is on its return trip from its second run. Once again it has gone into the hole at Army Lake Siding, this time to meet restored Chicago El train 4420 coming out of East Troy with a charter group on board. Finally, the El train is seen passing under the Beach Road bridge.
