Our illustrious Executive Director Nick Kallas asked me to post a list of the equipment that has been deaccessed by IRM over the years. This is an incomplete list - corrections and additions are welcome - and is slightly pared down for legibility from the original database version, which also lists date built and a couple of other data points. A roster of equipment currently at IRM can be found here. Enjoy!
Have photos of any of this equipment while it was at IRM that you'd be willing to have posted? Let us know - thanks!

IRM Deaccession List

You can add the 1200 wood car that was on the wash track at Howard St. This was a never motorized trailer and the parts that I and Laddie and
Geo. Kanary stripped are now being used in the restoration of 1268. I think the date was around 1992-3.
Does your list include the 4000 that was at McDonalds in Crystal Lake? I think there were another couple cars that were supposed to go to ITM and never went, and were stripped on some siding in Chicagoland. Don't quote me on that one tho.
The Hines VA Plymouth is another missing entity.
Looks like enough equipment to start a railroad museum ;-).
-Hudson
Yes, it's more than 100 items, which is much more than most museums have ever owned. And it's probably still not complete.
My favorite is the passenger car which was traded for a keg of spikes.
Amazing list! This answers a bunch of long time questions. Thanks,
The 1200-series "L" trailer used for the wash rack control shed was the 1279.
There were four cars in the group that included the McDonalds car: 4256, 4322, S-357 (ex-4429) and S-370 (ex-4393). Two were owned by Ron Jedlicka and the other two by IMOTAC; they were moved over the railroads in 1979 and were refused by the delivering carrier less than a mile from their destination. After a vain attempt to get CTA to take them back (including moving them to Skokie Shops' interchange track), they were abandoned in Weber Yard until it was ripped up in 1985. All four were completely trashed out; the three cars that remained at Weber were scrapped on site.
I'm puzzled at the 900 serice CTA motor Bus since CTA has never owned or inherited any buses in the 900 series!
I agree that it is an impressive list. I have a couple of questions. How do you bury a tank car? Do you also have a list of stuff that IRM plans to dispose of?
Art Schwartz
The tanks, minus the frames, were just buried in the ground for use as septic tanks. Nothing too special.
As for any current dispositions, it's generally up to the various departments. But you can always ask Nick, he should know.
Randy:
This is your list and you set the criteria so the following may not fit: two steam locomotives owned by the late Herbert N.W.Hansen, acquired during his Presidency of IRM and promised a future gifts.
Willis Short Line No. 200, a Baldwin 4-6-0, scrapped at Enon, LA c. 1970
Canadian Pacific No. 1057, an MLW 4-6-0 sold in 1971 to Ontario Rail Association
I think C&NW 300969 was former baggage car 8654 rather than a freight car.
Mr Hicks, on your list, you have that WCF&N car 381 belonged to IRM but was "never on property" and sold to Midwest Electric Railway. I have done a great deal of research on the cars that came from Knoxville, this being one of them. The car ran on the WCF&N until it closed passenger service, then sat in a Waterloo Park until the City of Waterloo donated it to Old Threshers in 1965. I have the original letterhead from the City of Waterloo stating that donation to Midwest Old Threshers. In my research I have found NO traces of where this car ever belonged or had consideration of being sent to IRM. Where are you getting this information from?
WCF&N 381 was apparently owned by IERM for a very short period in 1958. Anecdotal history from Bob Bruneau suggests that the car was donated to IERM but that soon thereafter (and before any action was taken by IERM) was reclaimed by the WCF&N and donated instead to the city of Waterloo. Excerpt from the March 30, 1958 IERM board meeting minutes: "WCF&N 381 was accepted as a gift." From the April 26, 1958 meeting: "Regarding WCF&N 381 - Howard [Odinius, founder of IRM] questioned taking a car in such bad condition with no spare parts. Discussion was tabled until the unit is available by abandonment to us." I guess Howard must have had pretty high standards, as the 381 was complete and basically operational as far as I know. The apparent antipathy on the part of IERM towards the 381 may be one reason that no challenge of this "reclaiming" by the WCF&N of the car was initiated.
But one of these years I'm going to ask David Wilkins to file a suit of replevin to get it back. :)
Actually what Howard may have been speaking of was the motor condition of the 381. The CERA Bulletin "Iowa Trolleys" had a chapter on the WCF&N, and mentioned that the 381 lost one or two motors towards the end of service, and as such, was running very slowly. It may have even blown one of the two remaining motors at the very end of service. I'll have to dig out the book and check it out.
Randy, I doubt we'd be able to file a suit for replevin. I for one believe in a Satute of Limitations.
Did we definitely own the Singer locomotive? My impression was that it was owned by IERM member Bob Selle when it was stored with our collection at the hardware foundry yard, then was abruptly removed by Mr. Selle and sold (donated?) to IMOTAC when he moved away shortly before the move to Union.
Do you know anything about a former Mason City & Clear Lake interurban box motor that we scrapped for parts sometime in the 1960s?
Somewhere back in the recesses of my photo collection, I have a photo of YS&T 607 (type VO660 switcher)as it was leaving the property. I believe it was circa 1982-1983.
It was being pulled by a dirty, beat up, chop nose CNW Geep.
I recently purchased a large heavy trunk with markings on the top of "B.P.&R. RY. CO." A google search lead me to this site and a link to a narrow guage steam locomotive on your list. Can anyone tell me more about the rail line and what the BP&R stand for?
Thanks, Will
Frank says: Wow, I really had to hunt this one down. At one time the museum had BP&R #1, a 3' gauge 0-4-4T. The railroad in question was the Belle Point & Reserve; it was apparently a plantation railroad. I also figured out where BP&R #1 is now (Oxnard, CA) and discovered that it was once at Cedar Point, OH (http://www.cplerr.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=714). A bit of searching revealed a couple more websites with info: http://www.stjohnparish.com/grh/rails.htm and http://miceage.micechat.com/stevedegaetano/sd102907b.htm. The second one has a nice line drawing of BP&R #1, but I don't think this is actually the engine that was at IRM nor ex-BP&R #1. According to steamlocomotive.info, the locomotive Disney rebuilt as the "Fred Gurley" was actually Lafoureche Raceland & Lockport #1 (apparently a different plantation in the same area) and not BP&R #1.
Could CTA bus "972" be the Brill "Red Rocket" 9762? I can't find any reference of it going to IRM, but since 9763 is there it's a possibility.
