Used Book Exchange List #5
FYI, our next used used book list will be mailed on July 1st, and uploaded to our blog one week later. This will provide more of a level playing field between our “snail mail” types and the Internet-savvy crowd.
Our latest list will include mainly CERA books, but also a smattering from other publishers, and also some original ERHS bulletins.
IRM 2014 Trolley Pageant
This just in from IRM President Joe Stupar:
Following on the heels of last year’s 60 cars for 60 years event, the Illinois Railway Museum is proud to announce the first all-day trolley parade event ever! On Saturday, July 5th, starting with the 10:30 AM departure, all parade equipment will operate in revenue service with passengers on board. That’s right: each consist will enter the main depot and board passengers. You might say, “Thats going to take all day…” And you may be right. If there is something unique that you always wanted ride but couldn’t, this is the day. In addition to the main line, several streetcars will also be operating on the streetcar loop.
This timetable is for informational purposes only. The usual disclaimers apply: This event is subject to weather, mechanical condition of equipment, and anything else that may happen between now and then.

Second Chance Program
Our January program on the Illinois Terminal Railroad was very well received, but due to the cold weather, there were several CERA members who were unable to attend.
