Mining loco

Traveling to new areas is both fun and challenging.  Roads have changed because of new construction.  Tracks have disappeared.  On the map I used to plan my recent trip, there seemed to be a major crossover near North Judson, Indiana.  When I got there, I found only the end of the tracks of a shortline now operated by Chesapeake & Indiana (Owned by the town of North Judson.).  The Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum made the stop worthwhile, however, with displays such as this 1913 Porter mining locomotive and several cars.  While it's now obvious I need to get more current maps, this was a great find.
