I know 1chan is not obsessive with pop culture, but did Michael Jackson have a railroad with his "Wonderland" amusement park?
After all, Gary, IN was/is a railroad town.

I know for a fact that Gary Coleman of "Different Strokes" had a large model railroad, but only saw a few shots of it.

If for anything else, amusement park railroads.
I will have to goto "Kiddyland" and take some shots there because this "Kiddyland's" last season.

Maybe someone has pistures of Brookfield Zoo's narrow gage railroad too.

>The flourishing business community in Havre got its start in the community's early days. Many of the businesses were located in what we, today, might call an underground mall. We invite you to step back in time with us, as much as 100 years ago, into the Sporting Eagle Saloon, a turn-of-the-century honky-tonk where cowboys gambled, kicked up their heels and drank good old-fashioned frontier rot-gut. Join us as we saunter along the streets beneath Havre and see an opium den (one of three known to have existed in the early days), Chinese laundry, an ethnic restaurant, and of course, a bordello. See all of this and more and hear why the underground exists on the "Havre Beneath The Streets" historical tour.

And now the punch line:

>Havre had quite a bawdy history especially during the railroad days and prohibition. They have done a nice job of recreating the environment.

Have fun with the 4449 rendezvous.

4449's schedule is there^
Remember that it will be coming back along this route in October too, but we dont have plans for that trip. If we've got some last minute stragglers, my spam email is deaths_helper1@hotmail.com i check it semi-regularly.

You folks going to Owosso be sure to take lots of pics/vids! We'll have a massive 4449 trip thread when all she's said and done and hopefully some updates while we're there.

I'm guessing it'll be around the station. The maintenance yard isnt far away so it probably isnt going far. Hopefully the train itself will be parked somewhere sightable, and open for tours if we're lucky.
