It should be a lot of fun. Parents are considering it, they're thinking on plans and it looks hopeful. I hope we'll have a great time, and to see some Bachmann peoples there. ;)

Hmmm, don't know about turning you two loose at IRM. I'll be watching for the "wanted" posters. LOL
Anyway, here's some homework for you. Hope you have a good time and post some pics.

Have a good time at the Illinois Railway Museum; the Zephyr is a glorious train. I have been aboard ,I believe. My brother in law is / was a member of IRM. The train station is Marengo's old one . I live there about three miles up the tracks from the IRM. I remember being aboard the Pioneer Zephyr " Silver Streak " on exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry . It is now indoors since the museum campus was rebuilt. I must admit the thing I enjoyed most at the IRM is to see where the various forms of electrical connectors and products I inspected at Pyle National were eventually installed and used . Be Good , I will be listening. John II
Bob,
If Northern Illinois is reportedly obliterated by an Atomic Bomb, you'll know why... Not that I have one... ;)
