Always enjoy hearing the sound of a Leslie A-200 "Honker" horn on an EMD E or F unit. Classic scene. Although money is tight, hopefully the museum will eventually be financially able to repair the severe rust on the Milwaukee Road F-unit.
this place is awesome the only thing is when we go i always manage to go on the trolley car days and they needed to make it so that you go in a bigger circle instead of down the one track and then reverse down to the station
This is at the Illinois Railway Museum by Union, IL near Marengo,IL. Thanks for pointing out that my description lacks the name of the museum - I'll fix that! Thanks for your comment.
The Milwaukee Road F- unit would look great pulling the Friends Of The 261's Milwaukee Road passenger cars!!!

I have been to the IRM several times and absolutely love it there! They have to drag me out of there at closing time! LOL!
Anyone who loves trains has to go there at once in their life. Great place and LOTS of "live" equipment too! So many trains...so little time...
Thank you for putting this up. Brought back a lot of good memories.

What were they doing with the alco?
just revving it? or on test-load bank?
I'd like to hear the fairbanks and morse being driven hard.

The Burlington F3 reminded me of Monon 83-A since it has a Mars Light and the same bell! :D
