You'll be glad to know that for a limited time, you too have the opportunity to own a piece of IRM history! Or, at the very least, a piece of something that came from IRM. IRM is having an auction! Click that link, bid early, and bid often. There isn't quite as much rolling stock for sale as in the infamous 1982 auction (if we ask nicely, maybe my father can dig out his flyer from that event and scan it in), but the museum is selling one car from the collection, the ex-C&NW 4-8-4 tender-converted-to-water-car shown above. There are also other such prize items as railroad lanterns, historic light fixtures, a cheese box, toolboxes, tools, fasteners, spikes, cookware, telephones, artwork, a fare register, a microwave, a truck, and a gavel. It's everything you could ever possibly need to run a railroad museum.
Don't delay - the auction only runs until Friday the 17th. Tell your friends, repost the link, etc.!
