Nostalgia & History > TP&W @ East Peoria 1981Date: 06/27/16 09:39 TP&W @ East Peoria 1981 Author: lamta_jay From Mike Matalis who I traded slides with back in the early 80's.
Mike and I would go to see the highlights around where my company was having our National Sales Meeting in Itasca at the Hamilton Inn. Mike lived in Downers Grove. TP&W train #20 East Peoria, IL December 12, 1981 Thanks for looking Jay  Date: 06/27/16 11:41 Re: TP&W @ East Peoria 1981 Author: ghemr In the summer of 1982 (I think??) a friend organized a tour of the TP&W shops, yard, etc. We traveled via chartered bus from Chicago and the railroad was more than cordial with their tour. No doubt we were well received......
