TRIP TO THE KNOLL FARM ENJOYED BY ALL !

St. Louis Gateway Section members enjoyed the opportunity of a lifetime, as they paid a visit to the Farm that Ed and Tina Knoll own, along with their sons, Fritz and Alex and their families, in Fults, Illinois. Members parked their Mercedes around the restored 1900 New York Central wooden caboose for a photo shoot. The caboose is livable, with AC, heat, kitchen, shower, etc. 

An enjoyable lunch was had by all, after which we were entertained with rides in Fritz’ retired German Anti-Tank helicopter and Ed’s military jeep and APC (Armored Personnel Carrier), which is a tracked vehicle that was used for transporting infantry into battle.
