The 14 Inch guage steam train at the Hesston Junction Depot. The Hesston Steam Museum. Hesston Indianna USA. Late October 1991.

I photographed this quiet late Autum scene in October of 1991 at Indianna's Hesston Steam Museum. It was a rainy and cold day when I made this visit in late October of 1991, with outside temperatures in the low to mid 40's.
The train shown here awaiting for passengers, operates on tracks that are 14 inches between the rails. Hence 14 Inch Guage.
Cold and damp as it was, the locomotive and train is seen catching a few sun rays via a temporary clearing in the all day overcast sky. This picture was photographed on the last operating day of the year at the museum. Soon the equipment would be put away for the winter.
