[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by cjcrescent I too am modelling the era and part of the area I was raised in. My work history has had no impact on my modelling. After all, how many RR's serve a hospital? [/quote] The Milwaukee Road served a small coal fired power plant for a very large hospital complex here in Milwaukee. The Milwaukee Road is gone the power plant gets it coal by dump truck now. I am a Steamfitter and I love heavy industry, so there is a steel mill, power plant, and other large industrial facilities on my layout. I also grew up in a city that once had many large industries served by the Milwaukee or the CNW, everything I just listed is gone. So I guess I am modeling memories. But big industrial plants had allot of switching going on around them.
