Before Sam Insull came along, there was the CLS&SB. They had beautiful wood interurbans and other interesting rolling stock. Here are views of some of this equipment.

1 was built by Niles in 1908 and was scrapped in 1929.

12 was built by Niles in 1908 as a trailer. It was motorized in 1915. A baggage compartment was added in 1925, and the car was burned in 1929.

73 was built by Niles in 1908. In 1927 it was rebuilt into work motor 1126. It was scrapped in 1941.

For information on their locomotives, check out the CSS&SB locomotive page which will be coming soon.
