087: Mid-Continent Railway Museum

Many preservation efforts have conquered hardship, but how many can say they have triumphed over a flood? Colin O'Brien of the Mid-Continent Railway Museum walks us through the extensive collection, restoration projects including Chicago & Northwestern #1385, and how they persevered through a devastating flood in 2008. This episode is sponsored by Age of Steam Roundhouse, a working roundhouse and restoration facility preserving nearly two dozen steam locomotives.
