The Hesston Steam Museum. Hesston Indiana USA. Sunday, September 12th, 2010.




This past Sunday, My lovely wife Cheryl and I visited the Hesston Steam Museum in northwest Indiana, near the state line border at New Buffalo Michigan.

This is one of our museum train ride tickets We had purchased.
The steam locomotive pictured on the ticket, was one of three locomotives that had originally pulle two foot narrow guage trains around the perimeter of Chicago's Brookfield Zoo during the 1970's and 1980's.

All three of these locomotives and the open coaches they once pulled at the Brookfield Zoo, are now here at The Hesston Steam Museum, being donated in 2002.
