Sunday, August 5. 2012CGW X 38 Update - August 5, 2012I am pretty much behind in offering more photos and history of our Chicago Great Western Russell plow. But here are some great images from the Joe Pierson Collection for your enjoyment. They provide interesting details and clues needed in our restoration work, even though right now the intent is not to repaint this into the yellow scheme. THE YELLOW YEARS  Joe Pierson Collection May 16, 1982, Butler Yard, Milwaukee, WI  Joe Pierson Collection May 16, 1982, Butler Yard, Milwaukee, WI  Joe Pierson Collection 1984, no location We continue to make good restoration progress, but as with all such work at IRM, donations are appreciated, yes, even required to maintain the pace of the work. We have assembled an energetic team of volunteers, the money is what is missing. Please send your help to fund RX38 .
