Idling.
Title:  Idling.
Description:  The Hospitality states railroad, Mississippian, operates this very well maintained GPR, formerly C&NW... The GP was face lifted with prime mover work, new traction motors and 40" wheels. I spoke to their conductor and he said the steam era building is falling apart and need a better building. Considering the co-ops spending and recent infrastructure upgrades to the railroad, I wouldnt be surprised if the building was eventually replaced.
