The Aberdeen subdivision goes between Humboldt and Duck Lake Junction, and at Totzke there is a junction with the Cudworth Subdivision that headed north toward Cudworth and south toward Neely. The 2014 Street View shows the northward track still in place at that time.Canadian Train Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05525092107895665275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458995441204559691.post-75173440481626655592020-05-04T07:07:35.108-06:002020-05-04T07:07:35.108-06:00Indeed.Indeed.BWBandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15435259893321037788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458995441204559691.post-63648176824778180012020-05-03T21:25:05.668-06:002020-05-03T21:25:05.668-06:00Quite a difference in design between the modern he...Quite a difference in design between the modern headstone with his wife at the cemetery and the more traditional monument at the gravel pit.Michael Trumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490660648096085115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458995441204559691.post-40077675964052959092020-05-03T10:09:27.296-06:002020-05-03T10:09:27.296-06:00I think that is a pretty good guess.I think that is a pretty good guess.Dale R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14266766696190880099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458995441204559691.post-53562629622338727462020-05-02T22:25:04.118-06:002020-05-02T22:25:04.118-06:00Maybe this is the spot where he died.Maybe this is the spot where he died.Michael Trumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490660648096085115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458995441204559691.post-18460321759411771842020-05-02T11:14:07.761-06:002020-05-02T11:14:07.761-06:00You just never know what you are going to find, al...You just never know what you are going to find, although Bandy seems to find interesting things every time out.
