Boiler Sheeting

Note all the patches on the skin.

Christmas Lights

The Annual Christmas Lighting group liked to put up lights, but didn't like to take them down. At one time it was nothing but duct tape and lights. This was really it's lowest point.

My Favorite Photo

Note the tree growing out of the top just behind the bell.

Tender

Some of upper plates are rusted through. The metal thickness is less above the rivit line.

Lights

One classification light is off, but is not lost. Light is a barn/construction spot light fixture.

Bell

Clapper had been stolen. We had a new one given to us.

Brakes

Besides the brakes welded to the wheels, rail spikes were welded to the rails to stop the 905 from running off. All welding is just small beads. They can be knocked off with a small 5 lb. hammer or ground off.

Backhead

Probably 2000. You can see the asbestos is leaking everywhere.

938's backhead

This is from the RI # 938 which is now in Union Ill. at the Illnois Railroad Museum. # 938 was originally given to Enid Oklahoma. It has had the asbestos removed, but no restoration.

886-887's Backhead

This is a composite of several photos of 886-887s backhead in 2006. It is at the Wheels Of Time Museum in Peoria, Illinois. We will use this photo to restore our backhead after our asbestos is removed.
