Very nice work capturing this parade and editing. I must put this on my calendar for July '13. It's been far too long since my last visit. I tell you, we are so fortunate to have the IRM folks doing such a great job to have so many examples of OPERATING historic pieces, most with original power in them.
It's wonderful to see that people are so dedicated to rail history. I must see this event someday. Congratulations to the folks who have done the work.
I don't know for sure. In general the museum hopes to restore every piece of equipment in its collection. However, that goal is always subject to the amount of available volunteer labor, money, and the condition of the item in question.
I may have missed it somewhere! But of all the videos l watched and comments l have read l never saw any praise for the section gangs who worked very hard and long hours. To keep the rails in great shape so we can enjoy shows like this! So to ALL those who have worked on the tracks, and other work that sometimes may go unnoticed. l want to say Many THANKS! For all you do. THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Saw that Milw F-unit and instantly I was back in 1974 waiting on Indiana SR1 at the Erie Lackawanna crossing as symbol freight Milwaukee 76 rumbled by! Sigh...
Great selection of classic American engines. The collection of carriages and "guard vans" too. 2407 making some glorious smoke or as we say here "clag" Nice Video Thanks for posting
I volunteer at the Orange Empire Railway Museum in Southern California we may not have nearly as large a collection of operational diesels as the IRM, but we do have some nice pieces of equipment that does operate. I have a few videos up that show some of the things that the OERM has.
The DDA40X is a Union Pacific engine. I was referring to Santa Fe #92, an FP45. I'm assuming that the #92 is non-operable because is is displayed outdoors with a set of stairs allowing visitors into the cab. Does look like it'll be moving anytime soon.
Okay i really need to know that horn MTRY 200 (The Alco RS3) has. Something about it is just my taste. I know is not an AA-2 and obviously not a Hancock.
Awesome video. Do you know if they have plans to restore each locomotive or are they simply keeping them in storage for display/special occasions without restoring?
Someday I just have to get out here. I love the mentality of "Anything that can run, will run" opposed to "We'll run it when we need to or want to". I've been a part of an organization that was more like "We'd love to run it, but (list of things that are wrong with it) nobody wants to work on it and we don't have the money to fix it anyway".
You'll find that at any railroad museum. Remember, every time you operate a piece of equipment you're adding more wear and tear. Every machine breaks down eventually. And some cases replacement parts are not available--period. And in those cases, you either have to steal parts off of another unit (if you have one) or fabricate the parts from scratch (if you have the resources to do so).
@4:45 engine Bn-1 does it have its own tender, what is it pulling I've seen them on other dissel electric freights but was never sure it looks so similar too the engine but w/o (hood, nose)?
Jason Stroman it’s a booster, or B unit. Basically another locomotive without a cab. B units are less common nowadays because they cannot operate by themselves.
It's pointless to go there now. No proper diesels like 5383, 92, or anything like that are running at the Diesel Days now. (Edit) 92 AND 5383 are now running again!!!!

i like how the crane got in on the action
Love that Burlington SD 24! Remember seeing them when I was younger. One of my all time favorite loco's!
It's wonderful to see that people are so dedicated to rail history. I must see this event someday. Congratulations to the folks who have done the work.
I love this video. Lots of vintage train's. Thanks😎
Wow a pretty impressive collection of E and F units among other locomotives!

Muy bonito video y muy bien conservadas estás bellezas gracias por compartir
Awesome Video! I didn't know that the rail cranes can move by themselves. I also like that semaphore signal above that BN locomotive at 4:11.
,Freedomtower Studios
Didn't know BN-1 had an RS3K on it. Very nice!
Amazing engines. Now I wish I could live there!! :D
Saw that Milw F-unit and instantly I was back in 1974 waiting on Indiana SR1 at the Erie Lackawanna crossing as symbol freight Milwaukee 76 rumbled by! Sigh...
Nice weathering effects!
Mike Day I
11:45 I can faintly hear the announcer say "here comes the zephyr!"
I loved that southern pacific locomotive
Love those f models and old Alcos
The horn at 6:45, the wabco e2, that's my all-time favorite horn.
Great video, thanks for sharing!
13:22 smokin like an alco!
yep
It’s an EMD that wants to be an ALCO
5:57, love the horn on that one.
Me when I see MILW

Nice! They have a lot of locos! Awsome!
Good to see BN-1 & BN-3 are still operational.
Superb video buddy....bloody whicked! Cheers, John.
Great! Thank you 😀
2:32 I remember that Bell from trainz
Love the old Burlington Northern locomotives.
I see that the RSD-15s engine is healthy
N&W 2156 Y6a dude it looks clean 🧼
I thought it was a steam locomotive the first time I watched this video!
Yep! The Illinois Railway Museum has one of the largest collections of diesel locomotives!
I like hearing the old-style horns.
Would love to see that SD9 southern Pacific when it gets redone.
I hope that you do. This year will be the museum's 60th anniversary, so they're planning something special for this year's trolley and diesel parades.
N3 or P3. Yes there is a Nathan N3.
WOW!!!!! THAT AWESOME!
Awesone trains!
Very nice movie!
Congrats to the diesel department!!!!!
Thanks Robotechnology! I will definitely check you channel.

What a fabulous salute to American ingenuity. 😁😁
7:53 nice beat - beat to this beat I love this beat
H-10-44 singing the song of it's people
great parade
If you're referring to Santa Fe #92, it's stored in Yard 5 in non-operable condition.
I got a chance to operate a loco like that 760 saturday. Pretty easy once you get the hang of it.
I'm a train and I approve this video! :D Choo choo!!!
Before it came into view, 2407 was making so much smoke I thought it was a steam locomotive.
Hmm I must've been standing right next to you. Your vids look almost exactly like mine. My videos from this day should be up within the next few days.
They have alot of switchers
Like #895. Excellent catch.
The 504 was masquerading as an ALCO
That horn blow at the beginning is just asking for ear problems, amazing nonetheless
all of these old locomotives still run....

What kind of horn does Minnesota Transfer 200 have?
AA-2
This would be so awesome if they shut the damn bells off so you could hear those great engines..
Yeahh, I agree.
The bells sound good 😡
First of all the bell sounds great and second it’s required for them to use the bell for safety reasons.
I didn't see the Milwaukee road 37a, the union pacific 1848, or the chicago and northwestern 1689, why is this?
That gbw one looked like a avwr locomotive
No it doesn’t not even remotely you stupid fucking kid
How much horsepower does the chicago and northwestern 6847 have?
cool video!
CNW SD40-2#6847 (RS3L)
Okay i really need to know that horn MTRY 200 (The Alco RS3) has. Something about it is just my taste. I know is not an AA-2 and obviously not a Hancock.
I miss the sound of the WC SD45's charging through town, making a run at Byron Hill
Soo Line fine
You and me both.
Awesome video. Do you know if they have plans to restore each locomotive or are they simply keeping them in storage for display/special occasions without restoring?
If you buy the Pentrex Program "The Ultimate Chicago". I think you are in it.
bro I remember watching this video

@@dmkeenan That's true, but it's nice to see the IRM has resources to keep all this great stuff in operating condition. Its rare these days.
At 6:44 gg1 in diesel form
@4:45 engine Bn-1 does it have its own tender, what is it pulling I've seen them on other dissel electric freights but was never sure it looks so similar too the engine but w/o (hood, nose)?
Jason Stroman it’s a booster, or B unit. Basically another locomotive without a cab. B units are less common nowadays because they cannot operate by themselves.
MIRY F7A#118C
Sorry, it's stored in Barn 19. The paint's pretty ratty, but I have no idea what it's mechanical condition is.
I'm thinking a Nathan M3
What's the difference between a gp7 and a gp7r?
My guess would be that it was re-powered or rebuilt at some point in its career.
CNW SD40-2#6847
BN C30-7#5383
Sorry, I don't know. Here's the info that listed on the IRM website for this locomotive...
