The same here in Lewistown, Illinois at the Fulton County Narrow Gauge Railway

Gerald,
Perhaps you have the wrong place. I called the auctioneer yesterday to ask a
question about an items description on his website. I posed the question in
regard to you post. First he said he doesn't drive 1,800 miles to look at junk.
He said he found the museum to be in excellent shape with smaller items in
glass display cases. The grounds were in excellent shape. The gentleman who is
selling at one time had a couple of flat cars which he apparently sold a few
years back. This person (84) is also physically and mentally sound.
You are correct in saying it is sad. Unfortunately children of the older
generation have no desire to keep this stuff around. There have and and will be
collections of photographs/slides and memorabilia that end up in the dump.
Just for that reason, there is a group here in Kansas City that is trying to
start an archives to save this bit of American history.
