The Shedd Aquarium's first fish car, named Nautilus, circa March 3, 1930. The Illinois Central Railroad ran within a few hundred yards of the Shedd and a rail spur was installed that allowed a train car to be moved to within just a few feet of the aquarium's south doors. From 1930 until 1957, Nautilus made nearly annual excursions to collect aquatic life from around the world and transport it to Chicago. The 83-foot-long, slate green steel car was custom built, with fish tanks and a living area for the crew.
