Title
Ames & Campus Railway track between Ames and Campus.
Description
Two individuals are walking along the Ames & Campus Railway (The Dinkey) track towards campus. The area on both sides of the track is fenced and a herd of animals are contained within one of the fences. The Campanile, Old Main, the Marston Water Tower and Botany Hall can be seen in the distance.
The Ames & College Railway, better known as the Dinkey, provided transportation between the City of Ames, Iowa and the Iowa Agricultural College (Iowa State University).� As a joint venture of Ames and the College, the Dinkey began operating on July 4, 1891. The Ames & College Railway was sold to the Fort Dodge, Des Moines and Southern Railroad in 1907. That year the Dinkey was replaced with an electric streetcar, known as the interurban.
