Vacation News

Somebody asked about the Utica battery substation recently, so on a brief vacation in the Illinois Valley I got a couple of up-to-date pictures of it.  Not much has changed.



And another object of interest in the area is this old car body in the yard at Lasalle-Peru.




Experts say it cannot be restored.  :)


And speaking of volunteers, if you think restoring railroad cars is hard, I suspect keeping an old wooden boat afloat with volunteer labor must really be tough.


But otherwise, we had a good time!
