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.

Ike Washes Out Trip

The Amtrak trip from Chicago to LA, to Seattle, and back to Chicago was washed out. Thanks to "Ike", the Ohio guys could not get from Cleveland to Chicago, and I could not get from St. Louis to either Chicago or Kansas City to hook up with the SW Chief. Oh well, we'll plan to do it in the spring. More later.
