The former MoPac Depot at Beloit KS awaits restoration in this heavily industrial area of the small town on the south side of Beloit KS.
Blasterz were pleasantly surprised to be chasing benchmarks here, and finding several cars from our home Class III switching railroad, the Dallas Garland and Northeastern (DGNO), in a siding nearby.
Blasterz LOVE the DGNO -- we spent hours watching them buzz around Garland when the younger Blasterz were MUCH Younger Blasterz :)
