The Illinois RR Museum was well worth the trip. Lots of stuff. I only have 2 complaints. 1. Way too many passenger cars. Building after building of nothing but passenger cars. 2. Everything is crammed in so tight you can't get any good photos. I was in awe looking at the Santa Fe Northern 4-8-4, and a few other HUGE steam locos. This is the first time I have been that close to see how large they really are. They also have a UP gas turbine. We rode an electric car for about 10 miles, and also a passenger car pulled by a steam loco. They offered caboose rides pulled by a diesel loco, but we missed that. All in all a great trip. We are going again when they have the Diesel Days!! For all of you steam and passenger train fans, lots of stuff. Well worth it!! Thanks for the recommendation. Tim
