1 Joe Veneziano and Bill Andrle pose for a picture. Joe gave a presentation on the history of the depot and railroad watches. Bill knew more about self-winding clocks, so he did most of the talking about them. Park visitors were fascinated learning about the standardization of time that occurred in the late 19th century.
2 Bill Andrlie shows visitors old railroad watches that were provided by a Chapter 124 member. Bill briefly explained their purpose and some of their history.
3 oe Veneziano teaches a young visitor and his Father about the Morse code and the telegraph.
4 This is the old Fate, TX railroad depot that was donated to the park. It was an ideal location to display the railroad watches and self-winding clocks that played such an important part in railroad transportation.
