celebration day

Well guy's the TWP car has made it up north here and was dropped of just outside Portage. The Milw. Rd. was so excited about the whole event they sent out their 4-6-2 Prairie "Chippewa" to pick it up and bring it on into the yard.



After all the speaches and celebrating the car was picked up by an Alco S1 switcher to be added to a freight headed south.



inbetween the events the shop boy's got a hold of it and emblazend it with a tilted red rectangle for posterity



The train should be leaving the yard shortly where it will head down through Milwaukee and into the Benseville yards just outside Chicago. There it will be picked up by a special dispatched PRR train to take it northeast to New Jersey..
Keep an eye out for it ,it just might pass by your house!!!!!!
