The De Smet station on the DM&E. The headlight on the horizon is an approaching IC&E freight.
De Smet, South Dakota
Besides being the location of "Little House on the Prairie" (the book, not the TV show), it also served as a station stop on the old Chicago & Northwestern (now the Dakota, Minnesota and Eastern).
