Passenger Car Department

Two weeks ago I visited the museums two display coaches and was amazed by the professionalism and artfulness of the displays.   I would strongly suggest to all the members  to view this attraction when next visiting the museum!  It is truly a very excellent display of just a few of the  many Irm railroad  artifacts.      To refresh your memory they are located in yard 5 on the third track.    You can not miss them  for they are very well marked! Above is just one example of what a typical dining customer would sit down to when eating on the American railroad diner of the 20's 30's 40's and 50's.   For those of you who are concerned about this displays protection, Mark and Mike have advised me that this entire table setup will be under a protective plastic canopy.      The above picture of builders plates was donated to the museum four years ago.  I do not remember the patrons name but graciously thank him for his generosity.  Thanks to Mark and Mike for taking these pictures and sending them to me so that I might blog about these outstanding and professionally created displays!  Please take the time to visit them.  Its well worth the viewing time.   If you would consider a donation to help further the development of more displays there will be one donation canister located in each car for your convenience.    You can also send in your donation either via mail or email and please mark it for Coach Department Displays.    Again, thanks to Mark, Mike, Shelly, Ray, Mike Baksic for making this possible!  It truly is an inspiration to all their hard work!    Thanks    Roger
