An important job for getting ready for Polar Express is to refresh the landscaping at the Museum's Blackhawk station in the Jon J Duer Forest Preserve.

2,560 people will be boarding trains her in November and December so we want it to look professional and top notch.   I think we got the results we were looking for from the following pictures.  

Of course, by Polar Express time, the Autumn decorations will be replace with holiday decorations.

Special Thanks to Chief Car Officer Jeff Bennett for arranging for the landscaping work at Blackhawk station
