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.

Time Out for a trip


I've been away from the railroad the past couple of weeks on our annual trip to the Horseshoe Curve area and the Cresson PA B&B with friends Ken Heyl (Ashland, OH), Stan Swope (New Philadelphia, OH), Allen Silverberg (Lexington, KY), Jim Martin (Selkirk, NY), and Dick Perry (Corning, NY). My photos from the trip can be found at http://billlinson.rrpicturearchives.net/archivethumbs.aspx?id=56356. My trip started in my hometown of Attica, IN, and this photo shows a westbound NS mixed freight knocking down the signal at the east edge of Attica on what was the old Detroit-to-St. Louis Wabash line. Track laying work on the P&LE renews tomorrow (Friday).
