Thanks for the update. I remember the museum from the time in the late 60s and early 70s, when it seemed that everything was rusting or rotting into oblivion, and it seems that the present operation at least slowed, if not reversed, that process. Some of the comments following this news article state that the “dedicated curators” will be out of a job as of January. If that is the case, it seems an ominous start to a return to private control. Its undoubtedly a difficult situation due to funding, but the museum has national stature, and should be supported by St. Louis in some substantive manner, regardless of the entity which holds ownership.
On a MoPac related note, at one time some years back, one of the rare MP baggage-coach-caboose cars was on a possible dispersal list from the MOT. Did that happen, or does the car still reside at MOT? If it was sold, to who and where?
