Thanks to Dave Diamond for sending along this Saturday activity update from the Buildings & Grounds Department:
Progress on the property today Saturday. Setting the ICRR centennial stone [from 1951]... The stone was obtained last year from a family in Peoria, IL and sent out for professional cleaning by the same company that cleaned the war memorial years ago. That's Tom Opolony on the backhoe and Al Choutka helping with the pick.
Thanks to all who worked on this Illinois Central project. In the 1920s, my grandfather worked in the Mail cars of the ICRR between Kentucky and Louisiana.
