The tracks ran through a section of pine woods. As kids we were always in the woods shooting BB/pellet guns and setting traps. When we heard the train coming we would put coins on the track. Couldn't wait for the caboose to go by so we could go look for our flattened out pennies nickels and dimes.

If I can't find someone to take it, it's getting converted to scrap metal in 2 years. The wood is in bad shape but the steal without the wheels is still there. kwg This is a casting along the door' Last edited by kwg020; 01/14/23.

I guess that IS a picture below the "casting along the door". We moved to the farm in 1962. It looked a lot better then. My dad died in 1978 so it was pretty much neglected after that and only used for storage. My brother covered the front of the car with sheet tin years ago. The metal is there but it needs the wood replaced for anyone who wants to take on a big project. Otherwise, it's scrap metal by 2025 when we build a new building. kwg For liberals and anarchists, power and control is opium, selling envy is the fastest and easiest way to get it. TRR.
