Steamy Sunset

            The steam crew readies J. Neils Lumber Co. #5, a Shay locomotive built in 1929 by Lima Locomotive Works, as the sun sets for a special night of operations on May 22, 2021 at the Illinois Railway Museum.  Night operations are rare at IRM, usually only held during Labor Day Weekend and Museum Showcase Weekend.  After cancelling all special events early in the season for 2021 and all of 2020 due to the Covid pandemic, the museum arranged for this special event to boost attendance during one of its traditionally slower weekends.
