On display in front of the Morton County Historical Museum in Elkhart, Kansas, along U.S. Hwy 56 is the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad Caboose #999481. One of 225 built, this Cupola style was manufactured in 1942 and rebuilt in 1970. It provided the train crew with shelter, a conductor?s seat and desk, a coal fired heat stove, a 12 volt DC refrig, a microphor chemical toilet, three pairs of facing bench seats that could be converted into bunks and two cupola seats. These cars presented some operational issues because they had to be turned to face the proper direction. Tradition on many lines held that cabooses be painted a bright red, like this one.

Comments/Directions:
The Belpre depot has been relocated to the museum grounds and nicely restored inside and out. There are various other railroad artifacts as well. I received an email that a 12" steam engine that used to run at Elitch's in Denver is on display. I don't believe it to be running though. When I stopped by in 2003 there were no signs of track.

Comments/Directions:
The former Santa Fe depot was purchased in 1999 from Central Kansas Railway, a shortline railroad. In June 2001, the railroad was purchased by Watco Companies and now runs as Kansas & Oklahoma Railroad. The Santa Fe Depot Foundation owns and operates the depot as the Cannonball Welcome Center and a railroad museum. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The depot is of the county seat design and features an open air waiting room, ladies waiting room, men's waiting room, freight room and baggage room. There is a small basement where the boiler for the steam heating system (no longer in use) and the coal bin is located. The building has been restored back to its original ambiance of a passenger depot with the Santa Fe colors. A park area west of the building has been deeded to the City of Kingman. The building is again a "working" depot as the train and track crews for this division now use the baggage room as their office. Reunions, small dinner meetings, and other activities can be held within the depot. Other special activities that have taken place in and around the depot include a train excursion and motorcar excursion. The welcome center and museum is open weekdays Monday through Friday 8:30-11:30 a.m. -- open by chance some afternoons and weekends or by appointment.

Comments/Directions:
Currently owned and operated by the Union Pacific Railroad, this bridge was built in 1939 by the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad to improve this section of track in western Kansas. The bridge spans the Cimarron River which was prone to flash floods and the original trestles were frequently washed out. The line also had to descend in and out the river valley necessitating hairpin curves as well. To improve this section of track the Rock Island RR hauled in approximately 3 million cubic yards of material and built this bridge considered a modern marvel of its day. The Samson of the Cimarron bridge and line relocation removed 113 feet of elevation, 353 degrees of curvature, and over 3.5 miles of track. There is a picnic area near the east end of the bridge just off the highway.

The ATSF depot in Lyons is a beautiful that once saw much traffic but now has fallen into disrepair. There was a fire that caused some damage as well as vandals, weather, and age. I really would love to see this building restored. It stands next to occasionally used rails owned by Kansas & Oklahoma Railway.
