Waupaca Depot in 2012

You know a railroad show is in town when you see a truck tailgate painted with Soo Line trains.
.

.

A new roof was put on the depot last year. Red like the original.

.

The small foundry is just across the tracks from the depot, and they have a trackmobile in there somewhere.
(your pictures might not look like mine, I have a pole camera.)

.

Trains come by, too. . . . . . Not much advance notice, there isn't a grade crossing nearby requiring horn blowing.

.

The freight house is on the lower level, and the tracks to the foundry.
. . . . . . . . The depot is on the upper mainline level.

The indoor train show is in the rec center east of downtown. 5 blocks south of the depot.
More than two big gyms full of model railroad stuff for Saturday and Sunday.

On Saturday (only), the arts and crafts show is set up on main street downtown.

Link to Mike's May 2013 Flickr pictures of the arrival of a great big Caboose that was just added to the depot area.
Come by June 15 for the depot open house and see the new caboose.
