During our stay in Worthington, MN we visited Currie, MN and the End-O-Line Railroad Museum. We had been here many years earlier, but made a return trip, as we had heard that more items had been added.
We especially enjoyed the manual turntable, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, but felt sorry for the two young ladies that had to push it around. Can't imagine what it would have been like with train engines on it. The park has two engines: the Georgia Northern #102 and a Baldwin Steam locomotive built in 1876. Since our last visit the park has added a school, a replica of the Murray County's first courthouse established in 1872, a Presbyterian church, and the Original Archibald Currie General Store. The Visitor's center/gift shop is the original Currie depot.
