January 21, 2023, was the 60th anniversary of the end of the North Shore Line, and the Illinois Railway Museum held a large event to commemorate the date. The museum ran its five operational NSL interurban cars, but also ran two cars that for some years had been unserviceable. The first was streetcar C&ME 354, shown above, which was returned to service by the museum after some 20 years of disuse. The second was box motor (or "MD car" in North Shore parlance) CNS&M 229, which was put back into service after some eight years of storage. Both cars have had their condition/status updated in PNAERC.
