[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by detting Not so for the mighty PRR in the golden years. Four track mains are the order of the day, 6 tracks if you count the freight cutoffs. And if you want to model the Northeast Corridor, you have the added excitement of building cantenary (overhead wires). [/quote] YEP!!! The Mighty Pennsy had 4-tracks thru my hometown until the late-'70s/early-'80s. If that isn't enough for you, the PRR had[ b]5[/b]-tracks for 12+ miles, from 'JD' to 'SG' (3 tracks South of the Conemaugh River, and the 2-track "Sang Hollow Extension" North of the Conemaugh), in the Pittsburgh Division, just West of Johnstown, Pa. From 'JD' West, the mainline was again 4-tracks, with the freight by-pass 'Conemaugh Division' 2-track main beside it, heading NW, then SW, into Pittsburgh (again, the Conemaugh-line was North of the river thru the 'Pack-Saddle Gap).
