Litchfield 2006
Classic mid-60s Rivieras.  My favorite HO slot car as a kid was gold like the middle one.

Two major railroads -- Burlington Northern Santa Fe (Former Burlington), and Norfolk Southern (Former Wabash) cross just south of Litchfield.  They parallel each other through town and it's not unusual to see two trains going through town at the same time.  There's also a nice looking depot on the old Wabash line.  My favorite spot is the Farmers Grain & Livestock Company elevator on the south side of town.  It's possible to photograph trains from both railroads with the elevator in the background
