The Hesston Steam Museum. Hesston Indiana. July 2007.

The Hesston Steam Museum. Hesston Indiana. July 2007., a photo by Eddie from Chicago on Flickr.

I took this photohgraph during a July 2007 visit to the Hesston Steam Museum in northwest Indiana. www.hesston.org

Seen here at the entrance driveway to the grounds of the Hesston Steam Museum, are two full sized operating railroad crossing gates, placed along the museum's miniature 14 inch guage railroad.

It is an interesting size comparison indeed. It sort of reminds me of the O27 guage Lionel trains from my own childhood, with the oversized signals, crossing gates and accessories. L.O.L!
