Oh, THAT 1218.....

Bet you got a lot of heart rates up......

Congrats to IRM and some other sentiment for Cleveland's interest in history.

In some countries, that's grounds for execution.

Ha ha ha.

That's like the "614 on Long Island" post I did back in 1998.

yea, I thought they were going to keep a small part of the collection for their own history, IRM however will get a treasure, believe me it will be in the right place.

I think I have a recording here of one of those cars on a 33 1/3 rpm record here.

Frank, are you intentionally trying to increase the foam level over at "Train-Oders"?

"Heading to"???
Frank, by the time you had posted this, 1218 had already been at IRM for more than a day!

There's one born every minute. And for our next headline: "4449 to be scrapped!!!"

I hope that shrink warp comes off the car soon. I saw several cars "preserved" this way at the Ohio Railway Museum, only to help seal their sad fate to accelerated moisture decay inside their greenhouse/cocoon.
