You've been out and about. At least there are a few surviving depots to photograph. That old steamer with "DME" has me puzzled. It can't have any connection with today's DM&E. So I wonder if there was once a DME RR in olden days? Perhaps absorbed into the C&NW? Does the mail box make a statement to USPS? Boxcab E50
Yes. I know. Knew a fellow who was an engineer for them at startup. Was wondering what the "DME" on that old steamer indicated. Had there once been a predecessor to C&NW of that name? Or did someone just slap that on the tender? Boxcab E50
Barb, ain't railfanning fun? Where is that train hedge located? some of the blossoms or cuts make it look like staybolts.
