There were sure some pretty pictures in this contest. Number 1 was real pretty with those mountains in the background. It would be fun to gather and work cattle there.

I took the picture of the chute and cattle car about a month ago at the 1880 town east of Rapid City along I-90. It's pretty unussual to see anything like that anymore. There's also a set of corrals with the chute leading up to the car and a depo with everything I believe that goes with an old time train station. My dad tells about trailing cattle from home to ship them on a train when he was younger and he is 88 now. I only remember having them hauled out of here on trucks.

I put a link at the top of this post to the home page for 1880 town if anyone is interested. I think it is really well done and all the buildings are museums of the things they would have had in them years ago. There is more to the town than you can see in the photos and it only cost 7.50 to spend the day. If a person is interested in oldtime things it's a good place to spend an afternoon.

I used that photo for that reason. The walker seemed to call all attention. Then after you looked at it you saw why. Wonder how many horses have walked that path.
Thinking it is in Co. but I want to go back to my cd and look at the other photos around it.

That cattle car brought back memories of as a high school kid working out at the local stockyards loading out cattle...Almost everything was shipped by rail then...Double deckers for hogs, sheep- which were fun loading Rolling Eyes ....But I think the worst job was out there at 20 below chipping the ice and frozen sh*t out of the rail doors so you could get them to slide and close...I was never so happy in my life, when I was no longer low man on the totem pole and got a different job- altho loading those hogs wasn't much of a promotion Wink Laughing .........
