Old diner |
| Description: |
This diner was pushed down to a position at the east end of town, almost to the end of track, as it were. No idea of the heritage. If I ever get back there-have to return for a follow up in the spring, so probably then-will have to ask around. |

Interesting contrast |
| Description: |
The area around a grain elevator and what had been the station area had a number of railroad related items, among them this 60 foot plug door reefer, and a very old stock car. The sizes of the cars and their relative ages make an interesting contrast in time and capacity. |

Box cars and an elevator |
| Description: |
These two DRGW box cars were sitting on the siding next to the elevator in Strasburg. Theyve been there some time; all the track here is isolated from the UP main, as the switches have been removed. |

The sunny side of the PFE unit is better lit, but looking a bit worse for wear. |

Sleepers |
| Description: |
I cant imagine these cars were in this paint job any time they were in service. Theyd been pushed off in the weeds a long time ago, and must have been repainted at that point. There was no identifying mark on either of them that I could see from the road. |

A look at the station area of Strasburg shows the equipment there, and the stub end of the siding that once accessed all this trackage from the UP. |
