ROBERT & ELLEN HAAN MUSEUM OF INDIANA ART INC

LAFAYETTE, IN

This Vexes Me Just west of Otterbein, IN is a small grain elevator at Foresman, though it is no longer rail served as evidenced by the cut switch. This portion of the New York Central was dually operated - and I think even dually owned - by the NYC and the Nickel Plate Road. Not much remains as evidence towards either one, mostly just junk is strewn around. We're nearing the end of the eastbound run of the KBS for the day, though even then we won't be done quite yet. It's quite a leisurely chase, which is a nice change of pace!

The Robert & Ellen Haan Museum of Indiana Art Inc is a non-profit organization located in Lafayette, Indiana. The museum is dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Indiana's rich artistic heritage. It was founded in 2001 by Robert and Ellen Haan, who were passionate collectors of Indiana art.

The museum houses a permanent collection of over 2,000 works of art, including paintings, sculptures, and photographs, created by Indiana artists from the early 19th century to the present day. The collection includes works by famous Indiana artists such as T.C. Steele, William Forsyth, and John Elwood Bundy, as well as lesser-known artists who made important contributions to the state's artistic legacy.

In addition to its permanent collection, the museum hosts a variety of rotating exhibitions and educational programs that showcase the diversity and vitality of Indiana's art scene. It also offers workshops, lectures, and other events that engage the public and promote a deeper understanding of Indiana's artistic heritage.

The Robert & Ellen Haan Museum of Indiana Art Inc is housed in a beautifully restored historic mansion that was built in 1893. The museum's galleries are located on the first and second floors of the mansion, while the third floor houses the museum's administrative offices and storage facilities. The museum is open to the public six days a week and offers free admission.

Turning Through Templeton The KBS railroad is interesting for many reasons, but one of which is its trackage. I touched on it previously, but the railroad is formed like a triangle with tracks from the New York Central, Nickel Plate Road, and Milwaukee Road. Each of them is pretty straight, with little in the way of curvature - typical of midwestern rail lines - but curves can most certainly still be found. At Templeton, Indiana, the former New York Central merges with the former Nickel Plate Road. From here onwards to Lafayette, the tracks were actually shared by both the NYC and NKP. Little remains that would identify either long-dead company, but the tracks are still used by the KBS today. Templeton itself is rather small, hosting a few blocks worth of homes as well as one rail-serviceable industry. I'm not sure what that industry is nor if it is even still rail served, but the tracks are there anyways. KBS701 and 702 lead our train on the ex-NYC curve onto the final stretch towards Lafayette. Clouds had been troublesome for the previous few shots, but Templeton was thankfully sunny enough for a good photo. Always nice to get a curve shot!
