This week in our "Behind the Scenes" series on WJON, we climb aboard the Great Northern Railway and see how the railroad shaped the city of Waite Park.
The STARail group, responsible for bringing an old Great Northern Railway Caboose back to Waite Park, wants some space at City Hall to display a model train and a vision for enhancing the project.
The buildings are all closed-up and the railroad cars are long gone, but there are still a lot of families in the Waite Park and St. Cloud area that have a connection to the old "car shop". And now there's a plan to make sure the memory of the railroad lives on.
