I should put these photos out to the list to see if anyone could recognize 
where the cars in the pictures are.

Yes, these are Boonton-Line coaches.  What you're seeing here is old and 
faded paint, possibly after a rain, or early in the morning when the dew is 
still on the sides of the cars.  While the paint on the outside is a little 
faded, the paint on the inside is in terrific shape.  These cars are fine 
restorations.

Give up on the location?

The three cars in the photos are at the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, 
Ill.  I recognized the numbers, but the giveaway is the single trolley wire.
