The above is a tentative schedule. Times depend on when the Coach

dependent on equipment being available. Please remember that The
Illinois Railway Museum is a volunteer organization. We thank IRM for
making the RPO available to see history recreated.
To enter the RPO, a moveable stairway is planned to be available.
Entry into the RPO requires the use of the stairway. The RPO portion
of the car is not accessible from the coach train.
Admission to the museum is $12 for adults and $8 for children. Both
electric and diesel trains are scheduled to operate September 20.
Visit the IRM website www.irm.org <http://www.irm.org/> for
information about where IRM is located, its operation, and the
railroad equipment preserved.
