Lone SIGNAL on NKP Cloverlead remnant at Delphos, Ohio 9/19

 This is a piece of the former NKP Cloverleaf Line that once connected Toledo with St. Louis. It was severed north of Douglas, Ohio in 1975, and leased to Indiana Hi-Rail in 1989. This segment was last used in 1995, and was abandoned between Douglas and Lendeck in 1998. This piece of track remains north of the PRR Fort Wayne Line with an NYC-Style SIGNAL standing sentinel.

No Promises In The Wind HO Scale Layout 1994

 This is a school project that utilized my HO Scale Train Layout to reenact a chapter from the story NO PROMISES IN THE WIND. Set in The Great Depression, NO PROMISES IN THE WIND involves two brothers who hitch a ride on a freight train, seeking employment. The Great Depression unemployment rate was astounding; millions of Americans to utilize their "hobo skills" to travel coast to coast for work. In one scene, taking place in a railroad yard, the two brothers hop onto a freight train while another train approaches on an adjacent train. Their friend, following close behind, stops in the middle the track to toss his banjo to one of the brothers, Josh. Unfortunately, this moment of hesitation is all that was needed for him to be struck by the oncoming freight train! Thus the quote, "catch my banjo, Josh!"
