Tom,

The president of Illini Railroad Club was a gentleman named Maury Klebolt. He 
was a student at the University of Illinois after serving in the Koran War. 
While at U of I, he formed Illini Railroad Club, originally with an interest in 
trolley cars. Several Illinois Terminal cars at IRM in Union, IL survive 
because of his efforts. The Pullman observation, Inglehome, also at IRM, was 
purchased by Mr. Klebolt and the IRRC for fan trip use. After purchase, it was 
paint U of I orange and blue and was seen on most Illini fan trips after about 
1960. When the fan trips were over and Maury had graduated, he moved to San 
Francisco where he owned a travel agency. There, he became involved with 
streetcars from all over the world and convinced the SF Muni to operate them. 
His efforts eventually led to the creation of the historic F line that operates 
along Market Street and the Embarcadero with PCC and other old classic street 
car models. Maury died suddenly of a heart attack in 1988. He was 58 at the 
time and it was his second massive heart attack.
