"Another rare photo. This is Aurora, Elgin & Fox River Electric ""Birney"" city car #72 in May 1934. Caption: ""Color: Orange. 2 Motors. This system, which operated local cars in Aurora and Elgin, as well as an interurban line between those two cities, abandoned April 1, 1935."" Actually, a small portion of the AE&FRE did survive in South Elgin as a freight line, which has now morphed into the Fox River trolley Museum. (Earl W. McLaughlin Photo)"
