The last contest was over quite fast, so here's another one for the weekend, or how long it'll last...
I thought this was to be found very fast, in fact I didn't think it'll last through out the weekend. So maybe I should narrow down the search area a bit. It's in a state that borders to or have the Mississippi river run trough.
Looks like ex-McCloud box cars. I cannot dig out a mental picture of that ornate depot- Where have I seen it pictured?
Hmmm, is this one gone completly dead? Well search area is hereby narrowed down to MO, AR, LA, TN and MS. Furthermore, there is a danish chocolatebar, which name is the same as the first half of the town we're in ;-) Now go find that railroad
Dunno where folks are lately. I have looked, on and off. But am not finding anything. That depot has me.... Motive power sitting around reminds me vaguely of Mid-South RR. I sure don't have any ideas about candy from from your part of this world. Don't eat much of that stuff, so have never even thought about it.
I did some googling on the chocolatebar as well, and it was actually quite hard to find that specific one I was refering to. It is made by a company called "Toms". I might as well take out a few more states to not search in : Not TN and MO.
Let's bring this to an end with this last hint: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yankie_Bar Read and search...
It's actually a spin off of one of their products! The Holly Bar. Location - Holly Springs, MS 34*46' 05.58"N 89*25' 58.99"W And I was JUST north of here late last night!! Was in/around the area of Olive Branch, but not quite far enough south!
1872-1982 -> Illinois Central 1982-1993 -> Kyle Railroad, under the name Natchez Trace Railway 1993-Present -> Pioneer Rail Corp, resurrected the name Misissippi Central Current power consists of: 2 EMD GP16 -> #1604/1605 1 EMD CF-7 -> #488 Google and Wiki were my friends tonight!!
Yeah, Every time I tried to look up anything about Yankie. I knew was the only danish candy bar I knew of. I was constantly diected to Yankee Candle. Lol Didn't know about "Holly Bar"
