While most of our visitors come from the Chicago area, we do get a good number of visitors from all over the US. Occasionally we even get international visitors, and this past weekend we were visited by a group of British tourists.

They arrived in a charter bus, and received a tour of the car barn given by Damin, then rode on a special ride CA&E 458 (including an explanation of the history of the car by Joe) behind the regularly scheduled run in Chicago North Shore and Milwaukee 715. Later on, they rode the final trip of the day in 715 and then returned to their hotel, which is near the Skokie Swift, built on the former North Shore Line tracks where 715 once ran.
