Illinois Railway Museum - Diesel Days 2018!

8/11/2018 - My second time attending IRM's Diesel Days event, and I must say they put on an amazing show this year! They changed things up and had all the engines taking turns on the trainsets instead of the traditional parade. I gotta say I really like the change as it provided many more opportunities to see the locos pulling trains. It was a truly fun experience to see the museum's operations today as well as spend it with all my friends! Enjoy!

July 6 2023 at 9:06 a.m. Great job people! Now days, this is the only way the majority of people can really learn anything about railroads!! I remember early diesels & still recall steam engines hauling logs to the sawmill in SE Tx. Thank y'all very much!!!

Where is their EMD E5A "Silver Pilot"

[@thekidfromcleveland3944]

They alternated between her and cbq 504. That way both diesels got Camera time. Cbq 9911 ran the next day with the train.
