The CB&Q had another interuban.....in Illinois.....!!!!
Farnham (don't have the reference handy, but he was a Q official of some
sort) developed a power pickup system and had a car built to demonstrate it.
It is not certain where the test track was; it may have been at Clyde
(Hawthorne or Morton Park) or south of West Grossdale (Congress Park).
Disposition and ownership of the car is also unknown.
