  💲RAILROAD INVESTMENTS 💲: 💰 https://get.stash.com/markd8uyn 💰  💲 https://join.robinhood.com/marke833 💰  ================================================================================= This is a walkthrough of the railroad trackage in Kokomo, Indiana. The PRR's Panhandle Line, NKP Cloverleaf, and NKP IMC lines all cross here in the shape of a triangle. The Cloverleaf has been removed on the west side of town. All this trackage is operated primarily by G&W, although NS does occasionally visit town from the east. This is my first walk-through with text, so I appreciate the feedback. ================================================================================= 🛰️ 📟Garmin GPS System! https://geni.us/PlRcW   🔭 Scope For Train-spotting! https://geni.us/starscope   🗺️ Railroad Atlases! https://geni.us/rratlas https://www.tubebuddy.com/MR77100   🚗 📹 🎥 📽 Video Camera Kits! https://kit.co/MR77100/video-cameras =========================...

The old station was burned. =============================================================================== 🎥 Pro Canon Camcorder! https://geni.us/Canon...
