Illinois - Illinois Railway Museum (and Chicago)

Union, IL - (Wes Barris Virtual Tour) The Illinois railway museum has gone to great lengths to preserve steam locomotives. They have a history of providing a home to steam locomotives that for whatever reason were no longer wanted at their respective locations. I haven't kept count, but over the past few years they have probably been the new home for at least five steam locomotives from across the US. A few of these recent additions include CB&Q Hudson (4-6-4) 3007 (from Atlantic, IA), AT&SF Northern (4-8-4) 2903 (from the Museum of Science and Industry), and T&NO 2-10-2 975 (from Beaumont, TX).
