On Saturday, April 24, 2010, the Illinois Traction Society convention visited the Museum of Transportation. Conventioneers started the day with a bus tour of the high line in the city of St. Louis, a drive over the McKinley Bridge, and a visit of former IT sites in Granite City. That afternoon, they arrived at MOT, and we had a surprise:
The previous Thursday, MOT traction volunteers pulled the Class C out from it's normal position, under cover, and spotted it for photographs. We even erected a set of stairs, so conventioneers could tour the inside of the Class C. I didn't get a chance to take a peek inside, as I was running the regular service streetcar.
