Railroad Yard. 3 7/8" x 2 1/2" black and white photograph of a railroad track, train, water towers, stacks of railroad ties, a railroad yard; unidentified. (Far right structure may be the old Waseca C & NW roundhouse.)
Belonged to donor's family. Waseca was a C & NW Chicago and North Western division point, or a place where engines were serviced. The roundhouse and car shops were built in 1881 and for many years provided Waseca's largest payroll. Engines were repaired at the roundhouse while cars went on the "riptrack" to the shops for repair. The roundhouse burned in 1953.
