Something a bit different this Saturday morning. This old railroad signal stands at the Old Town Museum in Burlington, Colorado where I was sitting waiting for storms to develop when storm chasing back in June. While some of it has been refurbished, the main part still bears the signs of life on the Great Plains.

This town on the Great Plains holds fast onto its agricultural-centric roots and embraces the feeling of community that rural locations are very special for having. If you ever get a chance to stop at this museum, I would highly recommend it. It is extraordinarily well done and provides a look back into life on the plains from the 1800s through today.
