These were some of the cars, trucks, buses, and trains from today's car show. This car show and the grounds are enormous so there will be quite a few pictures, however they won't cover everything the show provided. As usual our club got the sacred spot right by the depot.
They didn't have any steam this year due to ongoing FRA inspections, but they hauled their expensive, center piece dinner train out.
By luck he pulled up at a very nice spot to wait for the signal to head out onto their mainline. My Lark is in the center of the Packards, just to give the Packard guys a little grief. [8)]
As much fun as it was shooting it, it was just as fun to ride it. This was a train that pulled from Chicago to Minneapolis, and as I told my parents this was a ride your rear will thank you for. It was so cushy and and the ride was sooooo smooth. It paled in comparison to the log buggy ride the SD45 cab ride I had last year, lol. It was a pity I couldn't get the observation seat, maybe next time.
After that I go exploring the grounds. There are vehicles and trains alll over the place, because the museum invites all of the local clubs up every year.
I even go see the stuff in restoration, my favorite barn being the steam and diesel barn. There's quite a few nice engines in here, although the dark and narrow aisleways make for hard shots, but I do my best.
One of my favorite engines, an N&W Y6b 2-8-8-2.
Yep, we have a GG1 as well in a Brunswick Green, although it doesnt see much daylight.
They even keep a large bus barn, although I dunno what interest anyone would want in this particular critter. [}

Finally, this was a vehicle that was of particular interest, it's a Nash, with a couple of extra tweaks behind and underneath. Let's say they turned this car into a missile when he got out onto one of the straightaways here.
