Last time I was at Monticello, this was a privately owned unit, and he was going to restore it. Looks like it's on hold for now. |

Untitled |
| Description: |
Former CN FPA-4 #6789 was the unit for an excursion train at the Monticello, IL Railway Museum on 6-15-2109. This view shows the engine's front end, and passengers waiting to board the various cars. The depot at the left, Nelson's Crossing, has the ticket office, gift shop, restrooms, and other things. The semaphore signal is in the vertical position, indicating clear, but the train won't leave until the conductor gives the okay. I had not noticed the building on the right, labeled "Kuelbs", before this trip. |

| Description: |
Former CN FPA-4 #6789 was the unit for an excursion train at the Monticello, IL Railway Museum on 6-15-2109. This view shows the front end of the unit and is a bit closer than previous pictures. The train was stopped and I was NOT standing between the rails for this photo. Passengers waiting to board the train and the semaphore signal are in the background. |

MRYM 6789, builder's plate |
| Description: |
Former CN FPA-4 #6789 was the unit for an excursion train at the Monticello, IL Railway Museum on 6-15-2109. This view shows the builder's plate, moved to a oanel underneath the engineer's window. Sorry, I was too far away to get enough detail for the serial number or other stamped or embossed information on the plate itself. Note the steps leading up to the cab, compared to those on other makes of power. |

MRYM 6789, interior view, engineer's controls |
| Description: |
Former CN FPA-4 #6789 was the unit for an excursion train at the Monticello, IL Railway Museum on 6-15-2109. This view shows the engineer's controls. There are four gauges in front of him, other controls on the control stand to his left, and a handset, looking like the receiver part of a telephone, at his right. Interestingly, the handset has the letters "D&RGW" embossed on it! The engineer graciously allowed me to come into the cab and I am grateful beyond words for the opportunity. Be assured, my hands touched nothing except the handrails and my camera during the time I was in the cab chatting with the crew. They have great people at the Monticello Railway Museum! |

MRYM 6789 in action! |
| Description: |
Former CN FPA-4 #6789 was the unit for an excursion train at the Monticello, IL Railway Museum on 6-15-2109. This view shows the clear (relatively) smoke from the exhaust stack as 6789 leads the excursion train to downtown Monticello. I leaned out the caboose cupola window to get this shot and probably broke every safety rule in the book! |

Nelson Crossing depot |
| Description: |
This depot, called Nelson Crossing, is the main place to purchase tickets or items from the gift shop and browse some of the exhibits. My oldest son and I were there on 6-15-2019, Father's Day weekend, and even though he's in his 30's, he still likes "hangin'" with Dad once in a while. Train rides are a great opportunity for that. The light in the right background is the headlight for ex-CN 6789 which was the power for today's excursion train. The semaphore signal indicates "clear". |

MRYM 892, former IC car |
| Description: |
Former Illinois Central car 892 was coupled directly behind the power for today's train at the Monticello Railway Museum on 6-15-2019. I don't remember this car but it definitely makes a good addition to the fleet. My best guess is that this is a combine (coach-and-baggage). With the overcast and sometimes rainy sky that day, I couldn't tell if the car was painted a dark gray or a greenish color. Lettering is definitely in the gold family. Note the brake wheel at the right end of this car. |

Semaphore with two blades and a light |
| Description: |
This signal is a fairly recent addition to the Monticello, IL, Railway Museum. I saw this semaphore with two "blades"--not sure of the accurate term-- for the first time on 6-15-2019. B&O and other lines used semaphores with two blades but I have never seen a semaphore with a searchlight-type signal attached to the mast like this. Further information would be greatly appreciated! |

Clear signal ahead-1 |
| Description: |
It's hard to see from this far back but the signal has a green light over a red one, meaning "clear". I leanded out of the cupola to grab this shot! This was on the Monticello, IL, railway museum on 6-15-2019. |

Clear signal ahead-2 |

We're a little closer to the "clear" signal on the Monticello, IL, Railway Museum tracks on 6-15-2019 The ground was level, but I was leaning out of the caboose's cupola window to grab this picture! |
