Since I missed out on so many articles during the 80s and early 90s, could someone give some info on the Milwaukee Racine & Troy? I'd like to know the "history" of this freelanced railroad. Is it a small Class 1 or regional carrier? Is there a list of motive power for it? Has there ever been a good description (maybe even a map) of the route? Lastly: what are some essential back issues I should look for to learn about the MR&T?
Thanks!

There is a video here, you may need a subscription to MRVP, which I recommend.

The description with the track plan said it replaced an older layout. I was AWOL during the same period.

Sounds great, thanks!
Steve, I have been a subscriber for almost 40 years and the MR&T is one of my favorite layouts along with the N scale Clnchfield, and the Beer Line.
By the way, will you be hosting a Kalmbach employee layout tour this year?

Not until a few more employees build layouts for us to tour.
