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.

Ready for trip
Ken Heyl is in town getting ready for our private car rail adventure to Washington, D.C. and back. Ken helped on the final piece of track work. We leave Friday via a private car (as part of a National Railroad Historical Society trip) tacked on behind Amtrak. We go to Chicago Friday night, join on behind Amtrak's Capitol Limited Saturday evening for the overnight trip to Washington, spend Sunday through Tuesday nights in Washington, return to Chicago overnight Wednesday, spend Thursday night in Chicago, and on down to St. Louis Friday. All nights are in our private compartments in the Pacific Union rail car. We're looking forward to it.
