Illinois Railway Museum Blog

Of the steam locomotives in the museum collection, are any of the whistles in storage or in such a condition that would allow them to possibly be used on an operating locomotive? Be nice to hear the voice of some of the old girls that might not have a chance to ride the rails under their own power. Just an idea. On a side note you guys are doing an amazing job! Keep up the good work!

I was very wrong. I thought UP 428 would be out before the shay. I'm still waiting for the 428 to run, even though I'm excited to hear there are high prospects for the Shay to return.
