This weekend I visited Transcontinent Railroad Museum in Freedom Wisconsin while attending a family celebration. This is my first time visiting this museum.
The museum has nice collection of Railroad equipment both out doors and indoors. While there, they were dedicating the opening of a new building to display some of their cosmetically restored pieces. Trains magizine was their for the event.
The museum is in the process of restoring Chicago & North Western 1385, 4-6-0, Steam Engine that has not run since excursions in the Midwest in the early 1990's. This engine pulled the circus train from Baraboo WI to Milwaukee Wis for the circus parade a few times. They just completed the sandblasting of the broiler and painting the inside of it. The restoration is being done by volunteers so it is taking some time to do this extensive rebuilding of this steam engine.
