It’s snowing in eastern Kansas today, so Carrie and I went for a ride down to Baldwin City where the Midland Railway ends. The Midland is a tourist line run by volunteers. Here’s some neat shots of their equipment in the snow:
Their railroad would be a great short line to model. It runs about twenty miles and has several business which were originally served by the line. For more information go to: http://www.midland-ry.org/
Thanks for sharing the photos. Seeing RI630 reminds me of the early 70’s when that unit was assigned to commuter service between Joliet & Chicago. At that time it was painted with an EMD 50 Anniversary paint scheme.
Here is a picture of 630 I took at Joliet.

Dragenrider, your photos are poetry. Thanks.
Makes me fell cold an’ lonely. When you hear that lonesome whistle blow…
It brings to mind fireplaces, hot apple cider, a blanket and falling asleep in the recliner. [zzz]
