After spending time in the Hays Kansas area, we again head East towards Overland, Kansas.

During our travels, we first stop in Victoria to visit the Cathedral of the Plains and the German Immigrant Statue there. While in town we learned about a Union Pacific Cemetery that was created for Six (6) Track Laborers that were killed by Cheyenne Indians around October 1867. Is hidden in a small grove just around the corner from the UP Bridge that cross over the road.


Our next stop was in Marquette, KS where we hiked around an area know locally as Mushroom Rock State Park. There are some near geological formation there...

We then head to Silina, KS where we first visit the Rolling Hills Wildlife Adventure. This is a unique museum they have here with their zoo that is setup as real life displays of wildlife from around the world with some animation. Extreme real looking!

We then turn back to railroad hunting and spend allot of time tracking down several RR Passenger and Freight stations here in Silina.

UP / ATSF Passenger


ATSF Freight


MoPac Freight


MoPac Passenger


UP Freight


I also caught a Kansas and Oklahoma engine near the ATSF Freight that they now use...



Lastly we travel over to Kenwood Park to find UP#477


From there we make our way to Overland, KS which will be our base camp for several days.
