This is always a great show with BN having a loco available to crawl around legally (as does CP). Adults are $5, 12 & under free - hours 10 to 5. Tours too of 4000, Grand Crossing Tower, etc. Profits go to further restore Aeolus. I will have a table so if anyone wants me to bring some reference material or any thing we discussed swapping, please let me know offlist. Will have a lot of CB&Q items inc. quite a few additions since I last was at a BRHS meet. Also Randy Danniel will also have a table to sell a few remaining copies of Waycars, Burlington in Transition, wall calendars etc.
The original LaCrosse Div. Depot & Div Hdq remains in good shape (atty owns it) and one original Grand Crossing Shops bldg remains. BN has a lot of traffic thru here with a very active yard. Amtrak comes thru a few blocks south at the old LaCrosse Div hdq for the Milw. If you drive up or down along the Q I'll be happy to point out 'things' any Q fan will want to photograph. At least a half dozen Q-issued scenic postcards were photos taken in the area, two or three wall calendars and of course the tracks hosted the trains that for decades held the No. American speed records.
