Another IRM video. Yippee!
After a very busy work week following my escapades with CP 2816, I felt like a visit to the Illinois Railway Museum was in order, so I decided to head out there for their Fourth Of July weekend event. Aside from the usuals with Frisco 1630 and Shay 5 powering the trains and the CTA Interurbans, CNW 411 and two of the BiLevels made an appearance throughout the day running alongside the two steamers and the CTA Cars. We even got a look at an electrified bus making it's rounds throughout the day. Overall, a pretty solid day in my book.
Trains Operating:
Frisco 1630 with the Coach Train
CNW 411 with the BiLevels
CTA Rapid Transit Cars #4410 and #4412
J. Niels Lumber Company 5 with the Caboose Train
CTA Streetcar #4391
Veracruz Trolley #19
After our little visit to IRM we had gotten word that CPKC 642 was making it's way East along the D&I with CP 6644 in the lead, so we stopped by Bensenville on our way home to snag it. Enjoy!
