1385.org: We have migrated the old 1385.org "Steam Status" website into this, our main website. While there are no new updates at this time, the archives can still be viewed by clicking HERE.
CHECK OUT the Rolling Stock website, a fantastic resource for historical information, data, photos and more on wooden railroad cars and builders. This is an independent effort on the part of Hayes Hendricks, but compliments our own mission so well, we felt hosting his pages would be a natural fit. Enjoy by starting here!.
We are still working on long-term repairs from the devastating Flood of 2008 with help from our Flood Relief Fund. If you wish to donate, you may visit our on-line donation form or print a paper form from our Gift page.
Mid-Continent is an outdoor living history museum and operating railroad recreating, preserving, and interpreting the small town/shortline way of life from the "Golden Age of Railroading" spanning the years 1880 to 1916. Help us preserve this experience for others to enjoy by making a donation, and consider joining us as a member!
