Product Details & Size Guide

GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.

Celebrate the Chicago North Shore and Milwaukee Railroad with a sport polo shirt inspired by the North Shore Line’s place in regional history. From its early service in Waukegan to its connections with Chicago and Milwaukee, the railroad linked local communities with a wider interurban network. The Electroliners, introduced in 1941, remain a memorable chapter in its story. A considered pick for railway enthusiasts, transit history fans, and collectors with an interest in classic electric rail.

The Chicago North Shore and Milwaukee Railroad, known as the North Shore Line, grew from the Bluff City Electric Street Railway, which began operating in Waukegan in May 1895. The Chicago and Milwaukee Electric Railroad acquired it in May 1898, and through service reached Evanston in 1899. The line extended north to Milwaukee by 1908. After the North Shore Line took over operations in 1916, it gained direct access to Chicago’s elevated railway and the Loop in 1919. Its Skokie Valley route opened in 1926, creating a faster Chicago–Milwaukee path and local service to Mundelein. The railroad developed streamlined Electroliner trains, introduced in 1941, and operated passenger, freight, streetcar, bus and motor-coach services. A new corporation assumed the property in 1946 after reorganization. Passenger service on the Shore Line ended in 1955; all rail service ended in January 1963. The Electroliners were sold to a Philadelphia-area transit company and later ran under the name Liberty Liners. Since 1964, Chicago Transit Authority rapid transit has used part of the former route between Chicago and Skokie.
