Until 1956 - the IRT and BMT subways in Queens (NYC) as well as the Long Island RR, and nearby - PRR (and the Sunnyside Yards). 1956-1966 - New York, Ontario & Western, and the NYCentral in the Mohawk Valley in upstate NY. The NYCentral included the Adirondack Division around Utica, NY as well as the four tracked main from NYC thru Buffalo to Chicago. 1966 - 1971- SAL and ACL in Orlando and Tampa area (becoming SCL during that time), plus a brief time along the ex-Florida East Coast while I partied in Daytona Beach for six months. 1970 - Conrail (ex New Haven) in Connecticut along the shore. 1971 - 1972 Morristown & Erie, and the Boonton Division of the Erie Lackawanna in north Central New Jersey 1973 - til I 'grew up' - Southern Pacific, Western Pacific, Felton & Big Trees RR, and BART in the San Francisco Bay area. (I moved alot within the Bay Area !) 1978 - 1994 Santa Fe (w/ UPand SP close by) in Orange County, CA. Santa Fe line was the route from LA to San Diego. 1994 - 2004 Norfolk Southern and CSX in and around Raleigh, NC (ex Southern, SAL and the 'original' Norfolk Southern tracks) Former ACL was thirty miles away, and a branch of the Norfolk & Western was in closeby Durham. 2004 - Georgia Northeastern RR - a succesful shortline using the ex Louisville & Nashville's former 'Hook & Eye Line' - also known as the Atlanta-Knoxville Division Old Line, which was overshadowed and relegated to a branch status when the L&N gained trackage rights on the NC&StL's more direct route from Knoxville to Atlanta on trackage leased from the State of Georgia. This was the route of the Civil War 'Great Locomotive Chase'. Nearby are both the CSX and NS mains, and in and around nearby Atlanta, there are remnants of the Central of Georgia, SAL, Southern, L&N, etc. Just north of me is the Blue Ridge Scenic RR on former L&N tracks and now part of the GNRR. I am but a mile from some really twisty and hilly bits of the 'Hook & Eye Line' which is the subject of my new layout. That line's worth a look by some other modelers. . .Neat stuff. BILL
