    I was a little disappointed after I got close to her. But at least she avoided the scrap yard.

    Thanks for the information! I was reluctant to peak under the cover.

    I wish that I had an answer for you. This was the first time that I have seen this being done in my travels. I would guess that it occurs often in remote areas between maintenance facilities. Anyone else have a better answer?

    Here we found the former Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul depot that was renovated into a pub and grill. You can find a brief history here.

    Traveling west we stopped at the Pioneer Auto Show Museum.

    This depot was relocated to the museum from Draper, SD.

    1880 Town - Murdo, SD

    Our next stop was really close. Here are some pictures of 1880 Town. We had just ate lunch and as luck would have it they have a train converted into a 50's train diner. I wish that I had waited a little longer to eat. Oh well...

    I didn't find the heritage to this caboose but that didn't stop us from exploring it.
