Ya Snooze, Ya Lose

 Tim Peters points out that it's never safe to turn your back at IRM.  You just don't know what might happen next.

I can only suppose these new historic artifacts will significantly reduce our operating expenses.

Paul Hough comment s: Good grief. IRM finally got a Marx Train Set!

This is not the first rubber-tired train of this sort to arrive at IRM, but at least it appears to be in better condition.

Since we have broken ground with true parade vehicles, might IRM get the Milwaukee Road Hiawatha that still exists in IA? Its a shovel nose built in the Milwaukee shops.

That would be awesome to see in a museum. I think the tender is completely gone, but the shell for the engine could probably be cosmetically restored.

I rode the North Chicago Street Railroad horsecar around IRM grounds one Friday evening in the 1980s, when it was still configured as a parade vehicle.
