Illinois Railway Museum: Memorial Day Weekend

Illinois Railway Museum: Memorial Day Weekend
Recorded on 5/28-5/29
We hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend as our crew was quite busy yesterday and today getting footage at the Illinois Railway Museum action. On both Sunday and Monday, we managed to get some great train action at the IRM that included Frisco 1630, Shay 5, and an unexpected surprise with Iowa Pacific E8A 515 leading the heavyweight passenger train. Overall, it was quite a solid weekend at the IRM as we continued to celebrate their 70th Anniversary. Enjoy the video!

[@nicholasmedovich6729]

Frisco 1630s whistle sounds different. Sounds IC ish

[@SynchroScore]

We made a new whistle valve, should improve performance.

29:58 wow I’m wondering if Iowa pacific 515 got acquired by the Illinois railroad museum. That would be very great news to me and if that’s the case are they going to reletter it Illinois Central

[@Band__geek]

Ngl they should keep it in the Iowa pacific colors. Not saying they need more cnw schemes, it stands out more rather than other class 1 railroads

[@genevarailfan3909]

Yes, we acquired it. I believe I heard that the plan is to eventually paint it back into C&NW colors. It's looking good in IP/IC though, so I'd guess the repainting is a long way off.

[@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan]

@@genevarailfan3909 I’d love to see that special metal plate be implemented on the nose that CNW E units had located either above or below the top light

[@Band__geek]

Maybe have like a faded design like csx heritage units?

[@Band__geek]

Like one side Cnw, one Iowa pacific

BEST TRAINS IN THE UNIVERSE ! !

Still kinda weird to see myself on TH-cam. The 28th was a bit of a pain, but we recovered.
