Well...not quite!

Last post I described getting back to building the passenger depot. I did in fact do a little double checking of measurements. However, a review of master priorities revealed that there was a chronic delay in elements of landscaping and related streets. So, without further delay, streets were laid in the town of Murphysboro. Next we will be getting dirty with a dirt lot for the railway shop area. Also on the list is lawns for the other town lots. As an additional note, the original streets in Murphysboro were made locally at a nearby clay pit. This means that all the old streets were constructed of paving brick. Other cities in the U.S., used this material as well. What this means is that the streets appear a somewhat deep red, even today. I hope that everyone did not celebrate too much over Ground Hogs Day. See you next time, omscaler
