Towards the end of 2015, we started noticing a black cat on the property. It was several weeks before he would let anybody approach him, but has since become a member of the museum as a Trolley Cat. Due to being a solid black cat he was named Midnight after The Midnight Special passenger train formerly operated by the Chicago and Alton Railroad which use to run between Chicago and St. Louis using one of the last scheduled Pullman sleeper cars. Although a little shy, Midnight is warming up to visitors. He can mainly be seen in the Streetcar Barn but does like to visit other parts of the property. And yes he is a little bit cross-eyed.
