Ames & College Railway Dinkey
Postcard published between 1900-1907

Engineer Fred Stull is seen leaning out the cab window as the Dinkey travels past the horse barn (now the Landscape Architecture Building).  View more images of the Ames & College Railway Dinkey and learn about the narrow gauge railroad which shuttled passengers and freight between Ames and the campus from 1892 to 1907.

The Ames & College Railway track really was dinkey when compared to modern rail.
