Faded ex-Metra, nee C&NW f-unit at IRM.
Under the wires at Union.
Making another trip "inbound"... to Kishwaukee Grove anyway.
Probably something we will never see again, the 4160 coupled nose to nose with the 8701.
Another of the many gems found at IRM.
US Army 45 tonner 8537 participates in IRM's annual diesel parade.
Passenger train on the Illinois Railway Museum mainline heads west past the semaphore behind the diesel shop. C&NW F7A 411 leads a pair of bilevel coaches by the semaphore signal.
MILW H10-44 760, the former demonstrator, and MARC 92 head to their spots in the diesel parade.
From this angle it looks like BN country, including the "Q" caboose on the left, HOWEVER, C&NW was the road of honor this weekend.
CB&Q E5 9911-A, the last E5 in existance, sits at IRM.
UP SD70ACe 1995, the CNW heritage engine, and CNW 8701 make a guest appearance at IRM. IRM placed one of the oldest diesels next to 1995 and it definatly shows quite a contrast between eras.
MN&S 21, the last Baldwin Centercab of its kind in existance, makes its first run in more than 3 years at IRM for Diesel Days.
All part of an outstanding show presented by the members of the Illinois Railway museum.
