Engine #191 - Monticello Railway Museum, Monticello, IL - Locomotives on Waymarking.com

Railfan heaven in central Illinois! Three engines on display, one in need of a bit of work. Also, quite a few cabooses. Trusty IL Cabeese (visit link) led me to this spot. The place was closed but still completely accessible for my wanderings. See my other waymarks for the cabooses.

Museum located at:
993 Iron Horse Pl.
Monticello, IL

The museum's Wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monticello_Railway_Museum#Locomotives) identifies at least two of the engines. The engine for this waymark is:
"Engine #191, built by the American Locomotive Works (Alco) in 1916. was used at Republic Steel of Massilon, Ohio. This 85 ton 0-6-0 with 51" drivers was purchased and arrived at the museum in 1970. The first operation of this engine was in on October 9, 1972, and the last was in 1987"
