This picture shows the Illinois Railway Museum's new dining facility, put into full operation in May 2003. On the right is an original 1930's O'Mahoney Diner from Akron, Ohio; the attached brick building (the "diner annex") is entirely new and cost more than a quarter million dollars. The overhead wires in front of the diner are part of IRM's regularly-used trolley bus route, the only one of its kind in an American museum.
