Illinois Railway Museum

Friday, ‎August ‎19, ‎2011 I visited the Illinois Railway Museum (IRM). Here are some of the photos I took there and I will try to add all of the info about these locomotives or cars that I know. I am also using the IRM's roster for info. I will post the individual links with the photos.
