Wachakalette Falls State Park does not have an industry, but it is noteworthy because of the railroad's proximity to an area very popular with rail fans. The park was named after a state dignitary whose name no one could pronounce (let alone remember), so it became better known as Wachakalette (pronounced "what cha call it") Falls, which no one in Grant County can spell, so you may find it spelled any number of ways in tourist brochures.
