I took this photo in August of 1984. I was on a chartered excursion with the Railroad Club of Chicago. Our fantrip departed from Chicago's Randolph Street Station (now Millenium Park) on the Chicago, Southshore & South Bend electric railroad, and 2 motor coaches took us to the nearby Hesston Steam Museum. The space between the rails on this miniature line, is only 7 and a half inches. These miniature live steam locomotives are fast and powerful just like their prototypes were many years ago. This little blue engine operates on coal and water too. The Hesston Steam Museum is located in rural La porte County Indiana, approximately 2 miles south of the village of New Buffalo Michigan. This is a nice place to visit with Your family.Wednesday, March 07, 2007
