Calendars from a limited run produced by the Steam Department at the Illinois Railway Museum are still available. The calendar features a cover photo and a separate photo for each month. All photos are either in-service or builders' photos of locomotives in the IRM collection. This calendar was professionally designed and printed [work donated or done at cost], and all proceeds will benefit the Steam restoration work at IRM.
Frisco 1630 is undergoing restoration to return it to service as soon as possible, but as all of you who work in restoration know, taking equipment apart leads to the discovery of more than was expected!

Calendars are $14 [including postage] and may be ordered by sending a check made out to the Steam Department--IRM, along with your name/address:

Illinois Railway Museum
Steam Department Calendar
P.O. Box 427
Union, IL 60180

Lest anyone ask, these are all black and white photos, and many considered rare.

Let's all help make this project a sellout, and start looking forward to next year's effort. It really is a bargain, the more so when you consider all proceeds fund restoration.
