IT 277 is seen at the Chicago Hardware Foundry in North Chicago, IL, which was the site of the then-Illinois Electric Railway Museum at the time. Most likely this photo was taken very soon after the car arrived; behind it is IT 101, which arrived at the same time, followed by Milwaukee Electric 1129 and 1135, which the museum had acquired a year earlier. In the left background is an ex-North Shore "MD car" used by CHF as mobile storage. Ray Neuhaus photo, Bill Wulfert collection.
