Sober Island, Nova Scotia. Population about 90, with summer folks, who seem to be mainly from New Hampshire these days. Nearest RRs in Dartmouth/Halifax, and Truro, which shows that even if the Province was settled by the Scots, the English got to give out the place names!
jongrant, if you are still out there, I remember digs in Sunderland many moons ago, and a landlady whose budgie ate meat!

I'm just down the road from der5997 (good to see you back der, we missed you!). I'm located in Dartmouth, which is across the harbour from Halifax.

Regards

Lancaster County , PA home of Amtrack, Conrail, NS, and fallen flags of PRR, Reading. My business is located in an old freight station just off the old PRR electrified mainline. I get to see or here several Amtracks, and N/S a day. They run about 20' behind my studio. I'm also lucky to be close to The PA State Railroad Museum, the Strasburg rr, and the Toy Train Museum all in Strasburg, PA about 20 miles ffrom my house. Though my Heart and Layout are in Anthracite Coal country, Schuylkill County about 60 miles North of here. Dave

Richardson, TX. BNSF had a derailment about 4 blocks from my house about a month ago. It was very interesting to see the real-life version of the giant hand putting the engines and cars back on the track.

If you go east out of Houston Texas on I-10 for 88 miles you'll be in Beaumont. South out of Braumont for 17 miles puts you in Port Athur. Across the street from Port Arthur puts you in GROVES, TEXAS, home of the"Almost Nothing" railroad. We are in hurricane alley.

I live in Macon, GA, which is right in the middle of the state. 7 Norfolk Southern districts merge here, old Central of Georgia and Southern routes, and the Georgia Central ends on the east side of town.

I live in south east Texas. Not to be rude, but it's not a good idea to give out you exact location over a public forum. There's a lot of nut cases out there that you might tick off that just might come looking for you one of these days-which has happened before. Sorry, but that's the world we live in today...

Payson? Lots of modelers in those mountains, do you know Brian Heap from Show Low? Like 'messing' I'm in Flagstaff, got up to 40 degrees last nite (summer's com'in eventually). Nothing here but BNSF, not much food for a Ma & Pa fan. But the Grand Canyon RR is nice!
