Interesting use of rail/ties NT/OT
Posted by pimanjc on Sunday, April 18, 2010 7:16 PM

I went to Old CowTown Museum, in Wichita,KS, to observe a Civil War reinactment that my niece's husband was participating in as a Union soldier [... and he's from Memphas?].  At the entrance to the museum, there is an interesting use of rail and ties for the cover over the walkway to the display area.

 

My nephew-in-law died early in the reinactment.  I got an interesting shot of cannon fire.

You son-in-law is a Unionist Southerner and I'm glad the ties get to see some use instead of being thrown away. The way you set up the pictures makes it look like they're firing the cannon at the walkway! - Peter
