Stopping for water on the miniature 14 inch gauge railroad. The Hesston Steam Museum. Hesston Indiana. Saturday, September 27th, 2014. www.hesston.org

 
I took this photograph during a recent September 2014 visit, to
the Hesston Steam Museum in northwest Indiana, near the border
town of New Buffalo Michigan in La Porte County.
 
A recent addition and improvement to the operations at the museum,
is this working model of a wooden steam era water tank, used on the
museum's miniature 14 inch gauge live steam railroad at Hesston JCT.
 
Volunteer steam locomotive engineer Ted, is viewed lecturing the riders,
as he refills the tender of the former Kiddieland Amusement Park 4-6-4
streamlined steam locomotive near Hesston Junction on the museum
grounds.
