Nice piece on this industrial RR in Indiana, from which one steam locomotive remains, displayed at Bensenville, Illinois: http://www.monon.monon.org/rr/studebaker.html |

I saw no info on your link of a surviving steam loco at Bensenville. Could you fill us in? Bob Kutella |

Studebaker #1 was later Chicago Gravel Co. 18, and it is displayed as such in Bensenville. http://steamlocomotive.info/vlocomotive.cfm?Display=423 The question I have is - would Studebaker enthuasiasts be willing to support the preservation and restoration of Studebaker Alco S-2 #3? Tom Cornillie |

http://www.abandonedonline.net/index.ph ... 7&llimit=3 Link to a photo from inside the abandoned Studebaker factory. My question is what are all those engines and transmissions from/for? Perhaps for the derelict buses on the back wall in the photo? Hard to beleive somebody hasn't scrapped them yet. |

Didn't AM General use the Studebaker plant to build buses for WMATA and other agencies? Is this the remains of that ill-fated deal? Wesley |
