Bill as you can see the depot is the same as the one over in the Martinsburg's park if you want to get a good look at one. I'm sure I've seen a Howard D. Killam Collection photos somewhere. Didn't th

From looking at the tall straight stack, box oil burning headlight, ornate bell, sand dome with rolled edge and steam chest, I say the locomotive shown is a CB&Q Class A-2 4-4-0 type that would've be
Sounds crazy, but it looks almost as though they were building a monument to that length of rail, like it was historic. Rock around it in a neat rectangle, surrounded by a smooth walkway. Odd indeed.
Hol, I thought the same thing, interesting to note if one started with Section 1 at Burlington,Ia, Mile post 58 would corresponde with section 28. These 6 mile gangs took great pride in their territo

I realize the rail in question is resting on standard rail holders, but I've never seen an installation as fancy as this one, with the crushed rock and tamped walkway all around, all with precisely t
Wow, that's a pretty nice setup for a railholder. All it needed was a flowerbed... :) Cheers! Jan Kohl castlegraphics.com -- Yahoo! Groups Links <*> To visit your group on the web, go to: http://grou
