On Monday I walked out to check on the 321 again. I usually climb a neighboring boxcar to view the top of the tarp, and also go inside. The tarp still appears to be fine, but this section of ceiling has come loose and part of the molding has fallen to the floor. This isn't the end of the world, by any means, but it's a symptom of the slow deterioration that takes place even when a car is tarped. There's trapped moisture and condensation, and the result is not good. The only long-term solution is building another barn. And we're getting close, but not close enough. We still need your help.
It's easy. We strongly suggest you donate to the Indoor Storage funds for the department of your choice: Electric Car, Freight Car, Passenger Car, Internal Combustion, or Steam. You can send a check to this address:
Illinois Railway Museum
Box 427
Union, IL 60180
or donate online through our secure website at this link. It's all tax-deductible, of course.
Any gift you can make will be greatly appreciated!
