Working rail roads and their tracks.

Ahh, found some more. South Bend Sand and Gravel became Kuert Concrete. They donated the steam engine to Scottsdale neigborhood park SE of South Bend. As the story goes, kids would play on it and get hurt. The sold it to someone named Minor, who owned the machine tool company in Mishawaka. He used it for advertising and apparently sold it to Grand Pacific Junction some time ago.

The only regular steam train I ever remember was in a local cement company gravel pit (Kuert Concrete for those locals interested). The pit was about a mile long and they had a large dragline and a payloader that would fill the train cars and the steam engine would pull them up to the plant. At night, we'd drive by the plant and you could see the orange glowing fire under the steam engine while it sat in the engine shed, especially in winter with a blanket of snow. It would have made a good Christmas card. I was born in 1961, and I'm guessing they stopped using it by 1970. They had a little Plymouth diesel locomotive that took over. The pit is now mined out and road bound, so no room for expansion. The cement plant is still there.

The steam engine was sold to a machine tool shop in Mishawaka, IN and sat in front of their business on Jefferson east of town for many years. They painted it bright yellow with the company logo. Last I heard, I believe it may be in some park in Ohio. I used to have pictures of it.

The smell of coal came from east bound coal trains.

I was wondering how old you were.

I was going to say that engine looked like the one that sat at the Ironwood exit on the 20 Bypass for several years.

Where's that? Did you mean 20?

Yeah, fat fingers....
Fixed it.

OK

I don't remember it being there. I knew it was in a park near Scottsdale Mall for a bit before being sold to the machine shop in Mishawaka.

You know where Jordan Ford is on Jefferson and Cedar in Mishawaka? If you went east on Jefferson, it was out that way. Can't remember exactly how far. It was bright yellow at that time.

The amazing new Swiss mountain train that can jump rail tracks

The Golden Pass Express is the world's first train that can change its height and wheel gauge, allowing it to roll seamlessly through beautiful Alpine scenery.

Our local South Shore commuter train about a mile from the airport station, heading to Chicago. The schedule must have changed, as I've never been stopped by it on the way home in 5.5 years, and now twice this week.

First car of a 3 car set.

I know where you mean, but this one wasn't painted, was black, and sat just south of the bypass on the east side of Ironwood.
