Before everyone criticizes the guy, let's remember we are talking about a MODEL Railroad. I used to talk to a guy in the midwest who modeled the V&T as he...
Geez, lighten up guys. Those with short term memories probably need a time delay on their keyboards. This was a discussion topic a little while back (June)...
I once drew up a SN and a TS GP15 in new image. Kinda interesting. Come to think of it, I also once built a Con-Cor HO MP15 in New Image SN as a kid. Tom...
David and Tom: I, too, have to agree with you. Perhaps the author is using a little "poetical" license here. However, for those not too historically inept,...
Ok, while traveling for business, I have been mapping the SN trackage in Google Earth instead of watching TV . I put the first segment, Live Oak X-ing to...
I don't know the details of that segment well enough to make any corrections, but I did take the "tour" function and it presented very nicely. One question......
Wow, RJ...that is really great. I'll bet you have Harry drooling all over last year's Christmas tie <g>. I anxiously await the next installment. Mr. LTR ...
Yeah, it is the "plus" version to draw the lines and shapes. Let me know if you do the PE. would love to see that done. I also hope someone does the the...
Might ask the WP guys on the WP Yahoo List - most likely they have ETT's - they will need to know what year. All this depends on the era. For example, while...
Ok, I'll try over on the WPList. "Sacramento destinations were to deliver to Oroville, except those destined for Oroville were to be delivered to Marysville...
Just had the opportunity to download the program and view the file. All I
can say is WOW! Thanks for the work and sharing it with the group. Will you be...
Most likely it was a way to maximize home mileage (& revenue). Makes me wonder about the interchange at Chico with the SP and when it would have been a...
That's the plan. Finishing up Live Oak to Chico now. Christmas will slow me down, but maybe I can get some work done on my BW #440 freight motor now. I have...
I have been following this thread and can probably shed a little light on the SN/WP interchange at Marysville but meantime I did post an old WP war story on...

RJ, I have an SP station plat (1924, blue print) for Chico which shows interchange tracks with the SN at 9th and Orange. (So labeled but no wye) The...
RJ Since I have had a long standing love for the 3rd sub that starts in
Oroville I have always been fascinated by the SN and its connections with
the WP in...
Please let me add my support for additional studies on Oroville. I have spent a lot of time in that area looking for ROW and various other remaining artifacts...
That will be appreciated - it is with others help that I have been able to map what I have - much of which I haven't posted yet - still trying to solve some...
It may not make sense, until you consider that the SN got the "line-haul" from Marysville to Oroville. The switching charge would have been insignificant by...
