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.

Back from trip, hospital stay




I'm back to working on the railroad after returning from the private railroad car trip to Washington D.C. and back. But first, an update. Photos above, from top to bottom and all from the vestibule of the Cimarron River, are departing the nation's capitol, just after having passed through the Sand Patch PA tunnel, and leaving Chicago's Union Station with the former Sears Tower rising in the background. It was a great trip, but four days later, I landed in the hospital for three days. But, I'm home now, walking increasing distances very day, dieting religiously, and losing weight. It's back to the Paducah & Lake Erie Railroad in the basement.
