The only good thing one can generally say about economy-class accommodations is that they save money. Otherwise, conditions are usually cramped, stuffy, poorly ventilated, and bad for ones health in the long run. Weve probably all been there at one time or another.
This is our version of economy class. A tarp offers protection from rain, snow, and sun, but doesnt last very long, requires constant maintenance, and provides no opportunities for display or restoration. Thats why IRM is right now planning to build another storage barn to enable us to upgrade much of our historic collection currently in economy class to covered storage. And that of course requires money, as we keep pointing out.
Your contributions can make a big difference. We urge you to donate soon, so that construction can begin. The magic code word RISWEC identifies the fund for Electric Car Department indoor storage and work space. You can send a check to this address:
Illinois Railway Museum
Box 427
Union, IL 60180
or you can donate online through our secure website at this link.
Thanks!
