This loco arrived at IRM dressed as Davenport Rock Island and Northwestern (Dri Line) 121. It has been returned to its CBQ livery with the effort and involvement of a LOT of volunteers led by Collection Curator Jamie Kolanowski.The unit runs and is regularly used on our Museum trackage. Still a few finishing touches - but it does look good!Bob Kutella

Bob:An absolutely great job by the boys at IRM! I noticed the date of the photo; October 30th. My birthday! So I consider this a belated birthday card from IRM to me!!!!Les Beckman (Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum/North Judson, Indiana)
