Illinois Central RR 2-8-0 No. 790

Posted by: Jeff Lee on Apr 10, 2025 @ 21:04:32
I remember it being on static display off of Oakland road in the early 60’s, when I was a little kid. I thought it was the coolest thing in the world. I do believe we stopped and were able to look it over once. Then it disappeared and didn’t see it again until it was at Hawkeye Downs. That static display on the unused spur on the little hill by the old red brick building is a pleasant memory I have had for over 60 years. Glad to know it’s still out there.
