Dear Joseph, <br /> <br />Thank you for responding to my "cry for help," as it were. I am not sure of the grades, but if you could give me examples of the grades on the PRR's line to Erie, PA, and from Harrisburg, PA to Elmira, NY, it would be appreciated. <br /> <br />As far as trains are concerned, I do want to run passenger trains. So far, some routes I have come up with are fast trains connecting Baltimore, Harrisburg, and a mythical large city near Williamsport (to be named later); slow trains connecting said cities to Erie, PA and Youngstown, OH; and overnight trains connecting the mythical city in northern PA to Erie and Youngstown (with the sleepers coupled to the slow trains), Harrisburg, and possibly even Toronto on an unmodled portion connecting to Canadian National (I am from Canada, so I felt I should include something Canadian). <br /> <br />I also would like to know what types of switchers would be used in freight yards and coach yards, how a coach yard was organized, and if there would be any electrified tracks in northern Pennsylvania (I want to have some kind of electrical power on the layout). If not, then I can always operate the electrics near Harrisburg, perhaps as a partner of the PRR's Harrisburg electrification. <br /> <br />David
