jecorbett, Thanks for the time you have taken to post on this and my other thread. It has been most useful to me. I will endeavor to obtain a copy of The Overland Route. I am interested in the Omaha area and if a decent station kit is available, that's a bonus. For my modelling purposes I am also seriously considering a point - to -point layout representing Laramie to Borie (with of course Sherman Hill and Hermosa in between). Cheyenne would be represented with hidden staging. I fancy the year will need to be 1950 or '51 - in other words before the easier 3rd main line was constructed. If I model after the 3rd line was constructed it will overly complicate the track plan (space is limited) and will largely eliminate the need for helpers which I think will be an interesting layout feature. From the books I do have there seems to be a quite a bit of passenger traffic on this line, but I'm not sure how much passenger operations there were at Laramie. Oh and of course its only UP, so no Super Chief or Zephyrs. Hmmm. Tough choices. On the Laramie to Borie stretch, based on some maps I presume there were some bridges over rivers, but I cant find any info on this. Perhaps the book you recommended. Hmmm. Still pondering all these things. Thanks, Ryan
