ATSF Caboose |
Description: |
Youre supposed to be able to take the Midland Railway all the way to Ottawa. However, it doesnt go into town because it has to stop at the BNSF mainline, which runs through. So I drove to Ottawa first to get shots of this, plus the old Santa Fe Depot. |

Old Depot Museum |
Description: |
One of those structures that predates the Santa Fe, this depot was built in 1888 by the Kansas City, Lawrence, and Southern Kansas Railroad! Probably their only one still in existence. |

Old Depot Museum |
Description: |
Santa Fe used the depot until 1962, when they built a smaller one (part of which is still standing) off the east-west line and moved in. The north-south line south of the east-west line was abandoned and turned into the Prairie Spirit Trail, Kansass first rail-trail. |

Description: |
Here is the tonner again, a little sooner than expected! As I said earlier, the Midland Railway has several pieces of rail equipment that run. Ironically, this became a problem, as a maintenance vehicle running on the tracks ahead of us broke down, forcing us to go back after only about seven minutes! |

Description: |
Old Katy caboose. When the train gets down to Ottawa, they bring the engine around to the other side so it can lead back, which is probably why this is here. Since we were going to Norwood, though, the engine just pushed back, with someone radioing from the caboose as he kept an eye out. |

MDRY 4079 |
Description: |
4079 heads out on a rescue mission, to bring back the disabled Mofw equipment! Before we left on the first ride, they let me walk around the cab. I didn't realize it at the time, but looking through some old photos, I discovered that I photographed it a year ago in Clinton, OK, when it was still a Farmrail engine ( http://rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=4745889 ). Had no idea at that time I'd get to walk around inside it! |

Ever wonder what special care railroad workers go to to keep those hoses connecting the trains from breaking? Answer: none! They just undo the coupling, then let the hose snap open as the moving cars pull away. :) |
