At the annual August meet of the Waushakum Live Steamers in about 1990 or 1991, John Kurdzionak runs Clinton Bunn's 1" scale B-8 Ten Wheeler on the famous "highline". This is at the former tracksite of Waushakum (Norfolk Street), of which no trace remains today. Residential construction and nature have taken over the entire former tracksite. A very special place, this was.
