Viewing Album:  Repairing a Wheel Set - North Judson, IN
 
By:Gary Everhart
Dates:8/27/2011 - 8/27/2011
Album Info:Recently while re-visiting the Hoosier Valley RR Museum in North Judson, IN, I spotted a diner car undergoing a wheel set repair in the shop area. Much to my surprise, it was one of the passenger cars, the Keystone Grill, used for the day long excursions at the recent Rock Island Train Fest. Around the shop were several other cars that had been at the Train Fest as well.
