Progress Report
This morning I installed the benchwork for the remaining section of the N&W Meredosia Branchline. Cork and track were also installed and tested.
Carrie Ave Shops have been completed. I'm looking forward to having a place for the locomotives when not in use. Plus a car shop for my bad orders.
Announcement
As I continue to dial in my desires for the layout, I have made an executive decision to change the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy crossing in Joliet to now be the Atchinson, Topeka and Santa Fe crossing. Both lines crossed in Joliet. The AT&SF line continues down into Galesburg, IL and over to Fort Madison, IA. I have been to a few places on this line. As for the CB&Q/BN it has never particularly been one of my favorites.
With this change, I have located some motive power for the new AT&SF local. It will be featuring an Atlas GP30 in the Yellowbonnet paint scheme.
Existing paperwork destined for CB&Q will stay the same for now. Crews will follow the same instructions as before with the former CB&Q interchange.
