A variety of different types of old rr equipment (passenger cars, cabooses, a wrecker, and freight cars) is being collected in Praire Du Chein, WI, at a couple of different locations. Does anyone know of the plans for this equipment? A future museum perhaps? ddg14@msn.com |

A future museum perhaps? That stuff has been there for years (minimum 10.) Unfortunately, I don't know what the purpose of it is. It may just be somebody's collection. ablemanscurve@hotmail.com |

Hopefully someone plans on doing something with it soon. It's all in really sorry shape, and it would be a shame to loose so many pieces of historic equipment. > That stuff has been there for years (minimum > 10.)

Hopefully someone will do something with it soon. It's in pretty sorry shape, and it would be a real shame to loose so much historic equipment. > That stuff has been there for years (minimum > 10.)

A dozen years ago, an individual that operated a string of tourist oriented wineries in the Upper Mississippi Vally acquired cars to be used in his ventures. I believe he stored them at PdC. They had outlets in Galena, IL; LaCross, WS; and McGregor, IA. Baggage Car Burgandy from Wisconsin--the very idea gives me the DTs. fred_ash@bankone.com |

A future museum perhaps? The equipment at PDC is owned by Blair Dillman of Prairie Sand and Gravel. He had planned on using the cabooses for a motel. Several of the passenger cars were used as a bar just north of the US 18 bridge along the Mississippi River. The cars got moved into storage a few years ago after he moved the bar into the old MILW PDC depot just east of where the cars were. edraye@yahoo.com |
