of the NYC in the steam era would be a daunting task -- with a hundred trains a day or more, and at least half of them passenger trains! I went to college right near the Michigan Central tracks (which were PC, and quickly become Conrail) and found the scenery bucolic, the traffic interesting and varied, the pace a bit more relaxed that you'd find on the NYC water level route... Is this wonderful line not modeled, or is it just that those modelers don't write articles for magazines? I dunno. I do know quite a few Conrail modelers, and I have done several Conrail models too, and plan to do more. Around here, we still call it the "B&A" and many people still recall the glory days of steam and streamliners between Boston & Albany... and my favorite railfanning spot in this area is Selkirk and the Mohawk River valley. (Have only been back once since CSXT took over... ugh!) Tim "closet Conrail fan" O'Connor As an example of a strange situation, what is your take on the reasons |
