Well lookit that! Nice surprise! What's with the single boxcar train?

Needed four more axles to not carry a speed restriction. That was probably the easiest car to get for the journey.

They surprised Wayne and I on Wednesday. All 4 units and an exibition car.
I have learned that (2) units were to be in Monticello, Il at the railroad museum on the 18th and 19th and (2) units for Louisville, Ky for the 19th for Family days.
