Another installment in our series of slides from Bill Wulfert. Usual warnings apply.
In 1989 IRM was able to acquire several cars that had belonged to the TWERHS group, and had to remove them from the East Troy property. It's a long story. The train consisted of three North Shore cars, a South Shore car, and about ten reefers used for parts storage. Anyway, Bill was there to take pictures of the "hospital train" that brought the equipment to IRM. Thanks, Bill!

The 250 was already in very bad shape and was eventually scrapped. The following prints are all dated March 11, 1995:
I know the 250 contributed to the ever-important parts pile, but still it would have been nice to see the body preserved at the Kenosha or Skokie North Shore Depot. Perhaps this can happen yet with one of the derelict cars in Ohio or Connecticut.
