Track Wiring

I am new to Model railroading. I plan on constructing the the Union Pacific lay out as featured in "N Scale Model Railroading" by Robert Schleicher. The closest hobby shop is some 75 miles away and I need help on wiring this layout. I plan on purchasing a DCC unit. What else do I need and where do I make connections.
Thanks for the help

Semper Fi, Semperfi,
What you need is a book or books, because there's not enough time or space to elaborate on all the nuances of DCC wiring. I recommend
DCC Made Easy
and
Easy Model Railroad Wiring
. You can order them online by clicking on the links.
DCC Made Easy
hasn't come off the press yet, but
Easy Model Railroad Wiring
covers the essentials of wiring for DCC.

Semper,
Well I sure messed up the previous attempt to post a reply.
I looked at the Digitrax web page for the requirements of a basic operating system and it would be kinda vague to someone who hasn't actually had hands on the items.
There is a digitrax users group at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/digitrax/messages
You should be able to get everything you need at that site.
