Eastbound museum steam train. Illinois Railway Museum. Union Illinois. July 1988.

A dry Sunday afternoon with cloudy skies and not much else, was spent at the Illinois Railway Museum in northwest Union Illinois. We were in the middle of a serious "Drought"condition. It hadn't rained in nearly 2 months, and the grass and vegetation was starting to dry up. There were also a minor brush fire or two along the Museums right of way, due to Hot Embers from the coal burning steam locomotive #1630 seen here.
