10 MPH |
| Description: |
I caught up with the Medford Turn as it headed north at Abbotsford. Note the interesting old sheds-- the track is still in, but it doesn't look like they've been used recently. |

The facility on the left looks like it takes tank cars. The track leading to the left leads to more industries, and the elevator also takes cars. |

Moving through Town |
| Description: |
The engineer sounded his horn repeatedly here. He may have believed the car seen at right was considering "slaloming" around the gates. |

The Turn approaches the station in Medford. As I watched this scene, I thought how much it all looked like a model railroad scene. |
