That was my original idea. Benn Central interchange with the Milwaukee in the WI town of Vomissement du Chat. The plywood prairie attracts a certain sort of wild life.
But then came the SD 60, coal porters and some other modern stuff and I was redirected. A few flip-flops later I'm into a dual era scenario. Too much fun to be had, not enough will to pick a single direction. Next time you're in town come and celebrate the purr-fect upper midwest small town summer festival 'Hairball Days'!
