My name is Dave Hyman and I'm in Canton, Oh. I visited the fully restored Dennison Depot aka "Dreamsville". These pix were taken recently, Aug & Sept 13. The depot has been restored to it's WWII heritage when it served as a GI service facility, giving "free meals to every GI/serviceman passing through". The restoration cost over 1 million dollars. They have a C&O K4 Kanawha # 2700 located there awaiting funds for resoration. The Ohio Central Railroad operates excursions through Dennison with thier U-3-b class 4-8-4 # 6325 (1 of 2 surviving loco's) and F7 diesels.
Locations
Bowie racetrack yard
- Bowie, MD?
- "A view of the Bowie racetrack yard where the PRR parked the the horse cars of the PRR and other roads when there were real horse races at the Bowie Racetrack. This picture was taken by my daughter Cybčle, in 1992. The race track is now used for training race horses. The railyard is at the end of about a mile long spur from the Corridor. The slight dip in the trees just to the left of center in the picture denotes the route of branch right-of-way to main line." -- Pat Pritchett
