Dave Diamond reports:
A large crew from several IRM departments gathered on Saturday to work inside Barn 15, leveling gravel along the outside tracks. Volunteers from B&G, Diesel, Electric Car, Track, and Signal shoveled for hours on Saturday to get this job done as we get closer to completion on our newest railroad storage barn. Thanks to all for spending a little or a lot of time!
I wish I could put names to all these faces. That guy in the sunglasses looks suspicious....

It looks beautiful! Hopefully it won't be long before locos and cars can be moved in!
Sidenote, has IRM ever thought of making paid "VIP" tours a thing so the real rail buffs can see the equipment that is usually tucked away? Just thinking of this now since a lot of locomotives which previously spent time on display in Yard 5 will no longer be accessible to visitors (I am assuming, since this barn is not supposed to be accessible to visitors). I remember Yard 5 being one of my favorite locations at the museum because you could see a lot of the IRM's diesels up close and personal, such as BN-1 which is my favorite locomotive at the museum!
Oops, forgot to put my name in!

Ditto. I would also contribute to the museum for that service. Perhaps to the tour guide's favorite fund. It would sure keep folks interested in those hidden gems.
