Keokuk Junction Railway Iowa 1993 7

For a brief period in the early 90s, the Keokuk Junction had weekend excursions using a pair of ex-P&W / SEPTA "Strafford" Cars. The car towed a generator cart for power and went on a very lengthy trip through the farmlands of western Illinois and Iowa. One of the cars is seen here at LaHarpe IL in 1993.

 

A few modifications were added to the ends in order to allow boarding from track level instead of the high platforms that had been used in Philadelphia.
