Prototype information
Inglenookie
There is a industrial switching area at the southern edge of Gilroy, CA just as you cross the UP mainline on US 101 northbound. I'd seen switching taking place before when passing by on 101. Curious, today I decided to take a look at aerial views. I was kind of blown away to discover that the industrial trackage actually forms an Inglenook. It's a large Inglenook covering considerable acreage, but it's an Inglenook nonetheless (schematically anyway) even if it's a bit more convoluted than your standard modeler's Inglenook.

Take a Ride on the Valley Local
Hi guys, I've been lurking here for a while and just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Chris and I'm modeling the New Haven Railroad's Connecticut River Valley Line as it was in October, 1947. I'll be modeling the "Air Line" as well, since it crossed the Valley line at grade in Middletown, CT.
Layout Vist to Mike McNamara's Northeast Kingdom
Hello everyone, Sunday November 3rd I headed down to Mike McNamara's Northeast Kingdom railroad i took some picture and attached them to the post. i have to say every year i go down there and it just keeps getting better and better every year. it really feels like going back in time to the great days of Northern railroading when the Falls colors match the railcars sitting in yard. but anyway I will let the photos speak for them self and Mike keep up the great work.
