Diorama project redraws historic depots and towns
Barnes with Henry Krippner visited towns from 1916 to document buildings and depots for a diorama. They used Sanborn maps, Library of Congress, and National Archives data, measured foundations, and chose color from resident memories. The model depicts towns including Charleston and Hamburg with a 30 to 35 mph train, about three and a half minutes.
