NNG: Illinois Railway Museum Diesel Days
| July 21, 2007 08:04PM |
I was Illinois last week visiting friends and family and my father and I headed to the Illinois Railway Museum to spend the day walking the grounds. They have a remarkable collection of steam, diesel, and electric equipment. We happened to luck out and catch Diesel Days over the weekend. I was hoping for some steam this summer but from what I hear Frisco 1630 will be steaming next summer. Enjoy. (The pics are quite large for those with dial-up.)
There are plenty more where that came from if anyone wants to see some more. Go CUBS!!!
