After yesterdays cold and wet day, today was a little better just cold and windy with no rain. Having heard about a breakfast place in Marengo we decided on that for breakfast, I had 2eggs, corn beef hash, hash browns, and Mexican toast, Set me up till lunch time. When we arrived at the museum we were one of the first there, most people put off by the cold wind Our first ride was on North Shore Line Car 749 this was on the main demonstration line, when we got back the street car line tram had pulled in this was CTA Car 3142, this travels on a loop around the site back to where we started. Everything came together as the engine and passenger car train was just about ready to go then this was
6847 GP40-2 C&NW
7700 Combine C&NW
567 Coach Lackwannana
the rest of the day was spend exploring this huge site with over 500 items of rolling stock.
We stayed for lunch on site and had chicken and chips. After a cold tiring day we went for the easy option for tea and went to the Longhorn Steak house at the hotel where I had BBQ ribs. And then it was early to bed to try and fight off a cold which was developing.
