RAPID CITY, PIERRE, AND EASTERN ROAD TRAIN #M-RCHU PASSES THE ELEVATOR - COTTONWOOD, SOUTH DAKOTA - SEPTEMBER 29, 2023
Once again at near ghost town of Cottonwood (seen in the previous photostream post), but a different year, we see a freight making it's way past the old elevator. From this angle, the 'vader looks to be in better shape than it actually is, with a bit more collapsing going on at the west side. The train is making it's way east at 10 mph, but bags of tie plates and piles of spikes (not seen), will eventually work towards speeding that up at least a bit.
