Title: Historical Midland Valley Trail / Railroad pictures Post by: Patrick on April 21, 2017, 03:23:32 pm Does anyone know of any historical pictures of the trail behind the Gather Place when it was operated as a rail line? Thinking of an actual train on the rails. Alternatively, if anyone knows of any pictures from the 1920s of the surrounding neighborhood, I could look there. I've checked out the Beryl Ford collection but so far no luck.
