Album Info:Or Ashwaubenon, if you want to get technical about it. You could walk to the Packers statement from here, probably in less time than it would take to see all the amazing treasures that they have here! I gave the forerunner of its collection its own album - President Eisenhower's command train, brought all the way here from England in WWII (see http://railfan3145.rrpicturearchives.net/archivethumbs.aspx?id=144943 ). But where else does a Union Pacific Big Boy sit second to another classic locomotive? Or, maybe the Pennsylvania Railroad GG1 will strike your fancy. There are a number of other rare steam engines on the grounds, as well as some neat diesel engines. There's even a train you can ride as well - it's not the longest route in Wisconsin, but their circle gives you some beautiful views of the Fox River. Come give it a visit yourself sometime, and after you do so, come again!

TTWX 970837
Title:  TTWX 970837
Description:  An example of Trailer-on-Flatcar operations, yes, but this car plays a much more important role! Note the decidedly un-American (no negativity intended) buffers on the back of it. What were they added for? Simple! To help move the Dwight D. Eisenhower from place to place! The buffers help keep the British engine transportable on the American rail system.
