Illinois State Railroad Museum August 14, 2022

This is the largest railroad museum in the US. They have over 300 cars and receive more on a daily basis. It took us 2 days to see all the equipment. They also had a model railroad room which people in the area can work on and run the trains. We did get to go about 5 miles on the trolley car.
