Here Are My Donations!
Title:  Here Are My Donations!
Description:  I traveled to New Prague to donate some track materials to the Gopher State Railway Museum but just missed everyone, so I left them on this flat bed trailer parked next to the GSRM's pickup truck. Each bag was clearly marked with a note saying "Track Materials Donation To Gopher State Railway Museum." They not only found the stuff but they immediately put it to use on the track they are building for NSP SW1 number 4! Ah it does my heart good to know that these materials I picked up from the roadbed of the Chaska Industrial Lead in downtown Chaska (i.e. the ex-Minneapolis and St. Louis main line) are still being used for rail purposes (and at a site next to the old Tootin' Louie main line south of the Minnesota!)

The Tootin' Louie Depot
Title:  The Tootin' Louie Depot
Description:  This classy depot not only remains next to the former Minneapolis and St. Louis main line just north of Main Street, it still is used by a railroad, now on its third owner, Union Pacific. Note the ice cooler in the right background in front of the depot and the dumpster on the left. Sure gives it a "lived-in" look.

Stuck The Old Neck Out For This One
Title:  Stuck The Old Neck Out For This One
Description:  I had to sneak down to gft this shot of the 1498 by the downtown New Prague grain elevator as it wasn't up by the depot like I'd hoped. I admit I stuck my neck out but I got away with it. Oddly enough, a derailer was set up ahead of the unit! What for I have no clue.

Another Iconic Waycar
Title:  Another Iconic Waycar
Description:  The Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy's wooden waycars were as iconic to the "Q" as steel bay window cabooses were to the Milwaukee. #14534 was stored at United Sugars in Chaska for years until the Union Pacific's (precipitous, in my opinion) abandonment of their line to United Sugars meant this waycar and a few other GSRM museum pieces needed to be trucked to the museum at New Prague as soon as could be arranged. If you want to help give 14534 and her mates shelter, donate to GSRM via www.GSRM.org

Iconic Caboose
Title:  Iconic Caboose
Description:  The Milwaukee Road's orange bay window cabooses were iconic of the storied railroad. GSRM's #992147 is a good representative of the Milwaukee's bay window waycar fleet. A ride (or two, or three) aboard the 992147 is much recommended.
