From the Hicks Car Works archives, here's the Master Plan of April, 1979. Although this is only 11 years after the "Bright Future" document posted earlier, the plan is at least recognizable. Of course changes continue to be made, most notably the whole south 40 extension.
IF you like what you see, you can help by sending a tax-deductible donation to the Illinois Railway Museum. Thanks! And if you're a member, we can always use more hands-on help, too!
The "Hicks Locomotive and Car Works" banner at the top is taken from original artwork of the company, which was in business from 1897 to 1911. The picture behind it shows the three CA&E wood cars in a train at the Museum, headed by #309, which was built by the Hicks Locomotive and Car Works in 1907.
For more information about these cars, follow these links: CA&E 308; CA&E 309; CA&E 321; and IRR 205. For other equipment at IRM, go to the complete roster.
