WRC had the opportunity to attend Train Festival 2011 in Rock Island, IL. John Rimmasch had an opportunity to meet other show participants, including locomotive crews from Nickel Plate No. 765, Leviathan No. 63, and Flagg Coal No. 75. We are pleased to present this as our first half-hour episode.
You will note that we get a brief view of the Carey Williams Cagney locomotive at the start and end of this episode. Stay tuned for our next episode which will feature more of this Cagney at its new home in Benton Harbor, MI.
Our next show appearance is planned to be at the 2011 Live Steam Regional Convention (Titled: 7½″ Gauge & Beyond) held at the Hesston Steam Museum. The convention is planned for September 23-25, 2011. You can find more details about the convention at DiscoverLiveSteam.com or a special page on the Hesston Steam Museum website.
