Rails and the River

The Junction
Rail yard, river wharf, and the bridges between - one model of the freight machine that built the inland city.
The Grain Elevator
The river's harvest lifted into the sky - the elevator as the prairie's port.
The Roundhouse
Locomotives on the turntable in half-light - the depot city's beating shed.
The Bridge Raising
The span lifts for the boat - rail against river, negotiated by the hour.
The Reading Wall
The hall's informational panels in sequence - the argument of the gallery told in maps, figures, and captions. Read it like a chapter.
Viewpoints
Rails-and-river views with the transit drill - junctions current and historical.
