Surviving Illinois Steam
Engines |
|
Steam engines were the mainstay of most railroads until the
1950's when the diesel phenomenon took off. Most of these work-a-day iron horses
were sent off to scrap, but some were thoughtfully restored and put on display
or in operable condition.
Below is a listing of steam engines known to be in existence in Illinois.
