Diner 741 Restoration Update - September 2004

ELDCPS's Diner 741, and Pullman City of Lima, along with Erie Lackawanna Equipment Leasing's EL coach 1318, and Pullman "American Way II" have moved from Ozark Mountain Railcar at Hollister, Missouri to Midwest Locomotive in Kansas City, MO. ELDCPS and OMR decided in late July to move all the equipment to a better equipped shop, so that we may be able to move this project forward at a much faster pace. We have been very pleased at the work OMR has already completed for us, and John Suscheck will work closely with Midwest Locomotive and ELDCPS. Although primarily a private locomotive rebuilding shop, Midwest is located at a former GE facility in Kansas City, with several enclosed shops, overhead cranes, and a paint booth. Midwest has assured us that Diner 741 will be the top priority, and they plan to move it into the shop immediately. As soon as we have progress to report, we will so do so on our website, and in the next issue of our newsletter, "The Diner Digest." There is no public access to Midwest. We look forward to working with Midwest as we move THE LAKE CITIES project closer to completion.
