Picture 11/25: UP Hardhat

November 25
(year 4, picture 329)

Found a really cool find at a resale shop in Rochelle IL:


As a railroad buff, I was very excited to come across this U.P. hardhat.


We stayed the night in Rochelle which is known (among other things) for the railroad park located at the diamond crossing of 2 major lines:  U.P. and BNSF.  Visiting that park (and finding the hardhat) were big "smile moments" for me.

Also did some antiquing, as they have a variety of shoppes around their downtown.  Good times with the lovely Mrs. Honnold.

Fun little visit.  We'll be back.


Grace & Peace & Love to you all -

Matt
