New Railroad Audio
I have to put in a plug for a new talking history section that's been added to my website. Click on the “Talking History” button in the sidebar, which brings you to an “Early Minnesota Railroads (Audio)” section in Brickipedia. As I research brickyard information, I come across a ton of extra information.
One thing I find fascinating is early railroad construction in Minnesota. As the railroad lines were built, they became a necessity for the brickyards. Trains would bring fuel to burn the bricks (wood or coal), and would transport the finished product to market.
I thought it would be neat to put some of these railroad construction articles into an audio format, so a computer voice would read them out loud. In addition, I also added some early railroad maps and pictures, to provide a visual as well. Check this out. If you think it is neat or if you think it could be done better, let me know. I am always open to feedback.
