thankyou ac4400fan. All I remember is steam. There were some parts laying around and the roundhouse was still there when I last visited. Don't get back to Winona any more but I assume it is all gone and a housing unit sits in its place.

What a shame simon, but atleast we have the pictures to remember by

I would not call myself a fan, per se, but I am modeling the mine in White City Illinois in the late 50's, not long before its closure.

This is all that is left



The mine head has long since gone, as well as the large smokestack. This brick structure was the powerplant for the mine. The mine was a subsiduary of the CNW.

I will be having some C&NW on my layout paralleling the North Shore, running pushPull passengers and a little 4-6-0 running freight. I got the 4-6-0 and runs great (Bachmann)

When I grew up in Winona that was the line though town, but was never as popular as the CB&Q or the Milwaukee. I visited the yards in the 70's and very little was left, but the swinging bridge was still there. Now it is only a memory I wish I could recall more vividly. I have no pictures but would like to see some.

[ac4400fan]
