Loads East, Empties West!
The Western Maryland, somewhere around mid-August, 1955[:D]

The US northeast for me, but in a Canadian Railroad.

I like to model California- especially along the northwest coast where there are a lot of redwoods for logging RR's to operate, and also the central valley, especially from Sacramento to Fresno. My current layout, though, is freelance set somewhere in the northwest coast.

I model the western North Carolina mountains, specifically the area around Murphy NC.

I model north Texas, specifically BNSF Wichita Falls sub from Wichital Falls to Fort Worth, TX in summer 2000.

The layout is set in Northern California. But the equipment is from SF, SP, UP, GN, D&RGW and a bunch of western roads. There are a few eastern visitors as well.

I have to give some of your forumer's points, you recognize that Canada is there and you are trying to include us in your polls. Of course some of it is humourous, as in this post.

I am modelling the Canadian West Coast Region.

I model a mythical suburban area in Minnesota. The area is largely flat except for a few rolling hills (had to have one hill large enough for the requisite tunnel). [;)]

The track itself has no grade, which I think is pretty prototypical. I recently took the train between Minneapolis and Chicago. Although we went through some fairly rough terrain along the Mississippi River between St. Paul and Winona, and again in the Wisconsin Dells area, there was no noticeable grade to the track during the entire trip.

I model the Midwestern states west of the Mississippi, Hannibal, MO to be more exact. Most people think of the Midwest in general as very flat, but along the Mississippi it can get to be pretty rough terrain. Most of the Midwest is really gently rolling hills until you get into the river bottoms. The roads on my new layout will be the Q's Hannibal Division (K Line) and the Wabash's main line across Missouri.

Mandatory for the time and region, there will be lots of grain loading boxcars, F- units, and Mikado type steamers.
