The link from the Denver Post is nice. The full file of these photos thousands
of them is available at the Library of Congress site. I have gone through only
one photographer, Vachon who did a great deal of work around Minnesota. It was
9000 files but I have 100 great shots which I have shared with Rail Historical
groups in the area. I don't recall the photographer who did the Chicago scenes
but Steve Doyle may. These were the photos Steve used as an inspiration for
his Chicago skyline scene.
I am hopeful Steve will post his photos of the addition he made to the coach
yard. He smashed a larger hole in the concrete wall to run longer tracks into
the Passenger yard. The long tracks are where he stores his California Zephyr.
The other interesting change was blasting another hole at the back of the room
and through this he has run two more tracks that can be used for storing trains
waiting their turn on the railroad. The original design for this area was to
have a turntable and roundhouse but the roundhouse had to go to add more
trackage for his passenger fleet. The turntable was not eliminated. It is now
used to turn motive power for both storage areas.
I am sure the photos will make this all very clear when Steve posts them.
