Propeller |
Description: |
The scary stuff is coming up. This is probably either a windmill turbine or a propeller for a really large airplane. I would guess the former. |

All that are left of the buildings in the railyard are the diesel repair shop and this little blue building. Look how overgrown it is! |

Rusty Tracks |
Description: |
I cannot help but wonder if these tracks could still hold up a diesel. Something tells me the Union Pacific has no interest in finding out. |

Once, the Rock Island worked on its diesels in here. Now, the building is more of a greenhouse (see the trees?). |

Also, notice something different about this side of the caboose? It's because the Union Pacific still runs through town. The museum decided to paint the sides facing the tracks UP colors and leave the others Rock Island colored. |
