A very sad situation. I went thru the site on several occasions - all weed
grown, brush growing around AND thru some equipment, much of it rusting/molding
away. Thru a local native who knew the owner, who had become an invalid, I
learned he never had the funds to finish & truly promote the 'museum' which
also included a riding 'garden style' RR around much of the perimeter. A
hand-scrawled 'sign' on a small building blamed state or federal sources for
not giving him grant monies. On the other hand he saved some equipment that
would have otherwise been scrapped & may yet be restorable. A lot of the
equipment is ex-BN predecessors. The rarity is one of the 2 or 3 surviving
M&StL steam locos.

Subject: [CBQ] RE: Waycar
There was some mention of Q waycar being for sale a few days back.
There is a four day total liquidation auction at "The Old Depot Museum" being
held September 16-19th at Dassel, MN.
Included in this auction is a Q waycar. Look at the website:
www.mangoldauctionservice.com for complete photos & listing,
click on upcoming auctions. There is a full page ad in the current Trains
magazine.
