Passenger Car Department

                        A big "Thank You" goes out to everyone who was involved with the Rock Island 2612 Project!   Making it operational in six months was NO easy  task!  It took a team effort to achieve the needed results!   Here then in no particular order are the names of the people who helped make the job happen.    Dave Cook,  Dan Bixler, Loraine Bixler, Gary Sherman, Brian Paterson, Andy Townsend,  Mark Hoffman, Paul Cronin, Mike Steigerwald, Ray Erickson, Nancy Ring and yours truly.  Special thanks  goes to the operations department for switching the car around and to Dept Curator, Mike Baksic, for believing in our efforts.                                                                                                                                     Here are  some  pictures of the crew that made the RI 2612 operational!                                                    

                                                                                                                                                                                      Coming up.....   The second half of the year begins with  more needle chipping of the interior.             We still need funds for track space!            Restricted Fund... RI 2612 is the category.                        Thanks   Roger Kramer
