Don,

The BRHS Fall Meet will be held in Sandwich, IL this year. Tentative plans include an outing to IRM on Sunday, Sept 22.

The museum also has the Q SW-7 9255  and SD24 504 that operate at times. Diesel Days is Aug 9,10 & 11 this year and that is a great time to see all the diesels in operation.

Last time I was there was in July 2018, and the exhibit was closed for renovation. Big disappointment as I had my grandkids with me for the first time. Check to be sure the exhibit is open before going there.

I also want to find interesting Model Railroad shops in the area.  I am also considering a trip to Chicago to see the Zephyr at the museum of Science and Industry but I am not sure I want to deal with the traffic and parking.
