The Hesston steam museum. Hesston Indiana USA. July 2007.

One of My happiest memorys this summer, was the July 21st, 2007 roadtrip outing My Wife Cheryl and I had taken to the Hesston steam Museum , located in northwest Indiana near New Buffalo Michigan. A two foot meter guage 0-8-0 outside frame steam locomotive originally from East Germany, waits at the Hesston junction depot alongside a 14 inch guage 4-6-4 miniature live steam locomotive. An interesting comparison. Lots of coal smoke and whistle blowing here. The open coaches behind the German steam locomotive, are originally from Chicago's Brookfield Zoo railroad.
