Here are some interior pictures of our newest acquisation, Rock Island 2612. O!!, my mistake! This is what it should look like! In actuality this is a pic of the 2602Q u e s t i o n ? Do we want this coach to be operational for both the 2013 Thomas Event and the 4-day Labor Day Weekend/Railroad Extravaganza? Some monies will have to be spent inorder to place in service. Is it a good return for the money? Do the accounting.. I think so. Want to help with this project? Show up at barn 3 any Saturday or Sunday and we will get you involved with the 2612!! With volunteer help we CAN make this coach presentable to the public for revenue service. Notice the "junk" on the floor and walls. This has to removed and cleaned. It needs the manufacture and installation of two new buffers Both entrance decks are in fair shape shape Please help... With a donation to Rock Island 2612 fund. We need to pay the transportation costs and then pay for the $6075.00 track charges. Thanks.... Roger Just a reminder..... Please help with a $25 donation to the Barn 14 building fund.

I was not around at the time. General discussion suggests that it was "pretty marginal" in a number of areas. Nigel

No, it will not be necessary to hold any of the work waiting for the plow to be turned, end for end. Weather will be the major factor, but there will [...]

The CGW X-38 plow is really coming to life. Bob Kutella and Vic and crew need to be very proud of your collective efforts. I am very appreciative of [...]
