    The Jersey Central padlock looks like there was pride put into engraving or stamping the logo with a classy looking font.

    WHOOP UP TRAIL

    East of Shelby you can still see wagon ruts on a section of the 240-mile-long Fort Benton to Fort McCloud trail. The trail is better known as the “Whoop-Up Trail of 1869-1883.” To find wagon ruts on easily accessible land is almost impossible to do. You have to travel to Chief Plenty Coups State Park near Pryor, Montana to see remnants of the “Bozeman Trail.” Travel farther south of Alzada, Montana to see wagon ruts from “The Black Hills Expedition of 1874,” led by General George Custer. Fortunately, a Shelby area family donated land in 1966 that allows future generations to see the past first hand.
