Thanks should also go to the nameless Passenger Car Department volunteers who so quickly changed out the bad journal bearing on CRIP 2571 after it overheated on the Thomas train on Friday the 13th, as well as to Jim Nauer and the Operations crew who figured out the logistics of removing the bad-ordered car from the train, and to "The Three Steves" who patiently answered the seemingly endless passenger questions during the service interruption that day.
One thing that always amazes me about IRM is the amount of support equipment they have, line trucks, cranes, tampers, and now street sweepers most museums are lucky to have a forklift that runs.
