Here is the next town down th eline. After leaving Logan, the main line climbs up a two and a half percent grade and passes the Van Dyke farm and the cattle loading pens and ehter the town of Churchill.
The tracks pass a home and comes into the town.
Across from the home is a grain elevator and Vincent suppy which is a farm implement supplier, lumber yard and hardware store. Looks like a young man has come courting in his hot rod pickup.
This Karst Stage bus is an early representation of a current business in the area. Today Karst Stage has a number of tour busses and smaller busses and carries passengers from the airport to various venues in the area including the two ski areas we have.
The tracks pass Tschache Oil which was named after a friend, Junior Tschache whos family made their fortune in the oil industry.
Next to Tschache Oil is the freight station which was scratch built over 25 years ago. I have some REA sighs hanging around to put on the freight station. Been doing that for over 20 years. Can I procrastinate or what.
Next to the freight station is the passenger station.
Across the street from the passenger station is Ed's Market and the local Chevy dealership.
As the tracks leave they pass a park and a couple of homes across from what is now an irrigation manufacturing facility and the local auto repair shop.
As the tracks leave town, they pass a thome up on the hill above.
The industries in Churchill have purposely be locate so there is a switching problem. A locomotive servicing the cattle loading pens, grain elevator, Vincen Supple and the irrigation plant linit the locomotive to only have room for 2 freight cars at a time. Make it quite interesting, plus some industries meed the locomitive to drop cars from the front or the rear. Switching can take quite a long time here. I recently stationed a small switcher in town which will pick up all of the outbound cars and set them out on the passing siding to be picked up by a local freight train and it will in turn spot any incoming cars.
Nect we'll move down the line to the town of Anceny.
