And it is becoming an even better railroad town :) The new flyover to the west adds more activity to Santa Fe junction and one can see 9 tracks and sometimes a train on each one. The KCTR laid a third main behind Union Station so that now more than 200 trains pass in a 24 hour period. About the middle of June, an 1886 KCS two-section truss bridge will be installed over the tracks, linking the station with the Crossroads Arts District. It will be a pedestrian bridge, and a great train spotting platform. The layout of which you speak was sort of, ammm, inherited by our mostly high rail/Flyer group. Now that our club is more active and membership is increasing, there is talk of hosting an NSAG convention. It would be a great way to show off our Union Station, the new KC Rail Experience exhibit, the other operating layouts, boy just lots of stuff I tell you. Cheers :) Roy Inman
