One of the highlights of ArnFest is the backdrop -- the Illinois Railway Museum (IRM)! In addition to the massive iron of the railroad inventory, the IRM has a functioning woodshop used in the museum's restoration efforts. Better still, the IRM woodshop is full of beautifully restored OWWM! Below is a sampling of what we saw. Come to ArnFest '08 and you can see it, too!
