Very nice. I was somewhat afraid to click on this for fear of seeing lines of rusting rolling stock. This is a very nice piece of preservation. Thanks for presenting that shot.

And remember, a couple of years back, this whole place and equipment was under water. Fantastic job of restoration! BTW, weren't they working on a small U.P. 2-8-0?

I think that's IRM down in Union, IL. MCRM had one they attempted to restore back in the 70's but funds weren't there I believe. It's now on display in Antigo, WI disguised as a C&NW steamer. I just noticed it doesn't have it's vanderbilt tender either.

Yes the up 2-8-0 is a IRM project
