Walter Johnston at his track in Indiana, just outside of Chicago, Ill. From video of Bill Koster, about 1970.
Walter's Hudson
Bill Koster wrote:
- Walter Johnston had quite a railroad on a farm. It was just across the border from Chicago in Indiana. My diesel was the first diesel to run on his track. He later came to visit me in Homestead, Florida and ran my diesel there. I don't know what may have happened to his track. It was on property that his relative Emery Ohlenkamp (the injector manufacturer) owned.
