Mike,
Thanks for this great shot and information! I don't even live in Illinois, but the Illinois RR Museum is amazing and hugely important for locomotive preservation. It is by the far the most important place in the US. Railroads continue to drop their old power their, and very rare older locos keep getting sent there. Anyone who hasn't been there will be absolutely stunned at what they see, and the amount of what they see! Lots of steam locos there; in sheer number, more than anywhere. Even in this pandemic, you can still visit! I can't wait to be there later this month.
