This is looking very good! I am quite excited, many are too! This is going to be one of the better Diesel Days from my understanding power wise, keep up the good work Jamie and all volunteers!
Is Union Pacific 1848 (B40-8) a new addition to IRM and is Wisconsin & Southern 102 (E9B) still on lease to W&S or is it back at IRM for good?
This list looks great!
Several questions, how much money did you spend to get the UP B40-8? Also, will CNW 1518 ever run again? Will the MILW U25B ever run again? Will ATSF 92 ever run again? Will you ever have enough money to finish their restorations and still keep the operating diesels operating?
ATSF 92 has ran under its own power on museum campus before, but not enough to actually pull a load by itself. but they're working on it. as for CNW 1518, the has probably ceased up, but can be fixed. so many projects, so little time.
In previous years, there was a caboose train in the lineup in the parade. So there is no caboose train this year or will there be one. Just curious... and if there were to be one, what would the power of that train be?
We made our first visit yesterday to the Museum...THIS IS AWESOME...WHAT A COLLECTION.....AND WHAT A WELL RUN MUSEUM....THIS IS A MUST SEE FOR EVERYONE INTERESTED IN THE RAILROAD HISTORY OF THIS GREAT COUNTRY....THANKS TO ALL THE WORKERS AND VOLUNTEERS....WE CANNOT WAIT TO RETURN....THIS IS ONE OF AMERICA'S BEST KEPT SECRETS....IT MUST BE PROMOTED AND ADVERTISED MORE....THANKS AGAIN...BERT R.
