Eau Claire Tower's second home - a photo on Flickriver

Since 1992, C&NW's Eau Claire has rested comfortably in Carson Park in Eau Claire, Wisconsin where it is maintained by the Chippewa Valley Railroad which also operates a mini railroad that runs through the park. The tower once operated in the shadow of the U.S. Royal Tire factory, which later became Uniroyal.
