| 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!) |
