Steam Show v. 2016

**cheesy** · 08-13-2016, 10:23 PM

Time for the Northern Illinois Steam Show again. This is how I went.

Lotsa tractors, smoke, roast corn, smoke, engines, smoke, flea market, and smoke. New this year was the 'Prairie State Rail Road'. It's a 7 1/2" gauge working line, running both steam and diesel locomotives. The ties and rail looked 'dainty'. Also new was an exhibit of several Whizzers, one of which was a tandem.

The flea market was good, I scored a NIB 12V fan for the low buck AC unit for all of five bucks. Mrs. C got two pounds each of fresh ground wheat flour and corn meal for four bucks.

The rest of the pics are here. https://www.flickr.com/photos/214992...57672409425945

My left foot is sore but it has been over eight weeks since I wore a shoe on that foot.
