Hi folks,

I've been going through a lot of my older photos and scanning the ones of
potential interest to others. So, without further adieu, here's the first of
a series...

DL&W boxcab 3001 later went to Ingersoll-Rand in Phillipsburg, NJ to be used
as their plant switcher. After the plant closed, it was sold to the Illinois
Railway Museum. I got this shot back in the early 1990s to show the unit's
current condition. Note that it is kept indoors, a good thing! If you look
closely, the carbody is jacked up off its trucks, possibly to allow them to
be removed for maintenance?

Does anyone know the current status of this gem?

- Paul
