This blog is to document the building of a model railroad, the Paducah and Lake Erie. The free-lance design is set in the current time, and meant to replicate the coal-hauling roads of southwestern Pennsylvania. This version of the P&LE is a bridge line that derives its name from my wife's home town (and well known to Illinois Central buffs) and our former long time residence about 50 miles south of Lake Erie.

What's In A Name (part II)


The James Creek Railway branch coal line that runs into the mountains is named for David James, without whose expertise and hard work in both construction and electronics, this would have been a much different railroad. Other names used thus far are (Scott) Carter Junction, (Ken) Heyl Yard at Paducah and Heyl Knob in the mountains, (Alan) Steiner Yard, Howard (Sue's maiden name) Mountain, (Joe) Grzelak Heights, and Wally (Green) Tower, for the late Wally Green.
