Group, I was looking for a photo of this depot when I found this nice  
shot of a bunch of Gandys  at Milepost 58 on the K Line about 1 and  
1/2 miles south of Foley.  Does anyone know what they are doing?  This  
does not appear to be a barricaded crossing.  Also note the Sec 28 on  
the milepost.  If you were to look at the other side of the post it  
would say Sec 27.  Back in the day sections were traditionally 6 miles  
in length.  Each section had their own Section gang.  These old posts  
were long gone when I started in 1966 except for the post at MP 214 at  
Spring Grove.  On the side closest to Burlington it read Sec 1 and Sec  
2 on the other side.  When they put in new mileposts several years ago  
this post was abandoned and ended up in my backyard.  Will try to  
picture it for you ASAP. Again, What are they building? Archie
