Except for a few forest fires since this one was shot, this is the only one of the scenes you posted that has not changed significantly 0 it's still there. Some day, may my ashes be sprinkled at Sacred Dancing Waters. Date: 12/20/03 15:52 Re: North of Chicago Author: rdg484 Nice shots. Keep up the good work.
Date: 12/21/03 18:05 Going-To-The-Sun Mountain Author: SilverSky This car is still in Milwaukee on the southeast side, down by Jones Island in a bar complex with a Milwaukee Road FP7, baggage-RPO, 8-6-4 sleeper" Jefferson River" and a diner. There is a for sale sign on the building and I believe that it includes this equipment and some other cars located there. Anyone want to operate a railroad theme bar in Cheesehead Land?
