At dawn 179 years ago today Eliza Steele, a young woman from out East, riding in a stagecoach from Chicago to Peoria, awoke to the splendor of a PRAIRIE- somewhere near Joliet! There will be a guided prairie hike at 11 today- meet at the Iron Bridge Trailhead!

For the first time in 60 years, a UP 4000 class locomotive has fire in its firebox in Cheyenne...an oil fire in #up4014.

We are thinking of her family and our partners at @ILStatePolice as they mourn another tragic loss. #pleasemoveover #itsamatteroflifeordeath

Did you know it’s Smokey Bear, not Smokey the Bear? “The” was added when songwriters penned Smokey’s tune. It helped with the rhythm of the song. It's the only time Smokey Bear ever has a middle name. #SmokeySaturdays

Our Santa Train event is in its final weekend and while @NickelPlate765 makes a striking display inside our shop, we can’t help but wonder what she’ll look like powering her own mainline Santa Train someday...
