Jon Fenlaciki has been heading up the project to redo the interior of IRM's first car, Indiana Railroad 65, with newly-made seats of the correct type. It took a lot of time and money. But as you can see here, the result is stunning! The car will be open for a static fantrip tomorrow from 1 to 4 PM. If you're going to be out at IRM for the safety meeting/rules test/annual meeting festivities, you won't want to miss it!

What happened to the previous seats that came from the CA&E's exWB&A cars?
That is a beautiful job of restoration to one of our first cars and a historic one at that. Kudos to the guys that did it.
Just remember the safety meeting starts at 1 for anyone who will be operating during the 2015 season.
The official notice says the safety meeting starts at 1:30.
So, is no one going to answer Don Bosan? The "new" seats in the IRR 65 are actually the same ex-WB&A seats that were re-contoured to look as close to the original IRR seats as possible. A sample seat from Seashore Trolley Museum was borrowed as a pattern. Bill Wulfert
