QUOTE: Originally posted by jaretos i live less than one mile from CNW (now UP) line in palatine, IL. I make a drive into Chicago three times a week down the Kennedy Expressway and can see to my knowledge one siding for Lee Lumber and then a small yard Opposite the North Ave exit which is switched by two UP Geeps and a CP . I am still trying to figure why a CP engine would switch this yard. Anyway, just wanted to give you mt 2 cents worth. John

QUOTE: Originally posted by paugust Okay, here is a scan of the April 1981 cover of North Western Lines, which has been long out of print. It shows it as double tracked. I didn't scan too well, but I can send you Xerox copies of the article, chock full of pictures, measurements, scale drawings, etc. email me your adress and I'll get them out to you next week some time.

QUOTE: Originally posted by paugust Are you familiar with the Palatine, Lake Zurich & Wauconda? The PLZ&W met the C&NW at the Palatine Depot, and headed out thru Lake Zurich and ended at Wauconda. Died off in the Depression, but there is still a ROW in certain places.

daschilling ------ CHICAGO AND NORTHWESTERN -------- in S Gauge!
QUOTE: Originally posted by daschilling Hey, this is great! I just stumbled on this thread, and love it! I grew up in Chicago, and when I was in grade school, I was a crossing guard at the Gladstone Park station on the Northwest line. I'm modeling CNW in S gauge, and have a 12' x 22' layout in progress. (It was highlighted in the Nov/Dec 2004 S Gaugian magazine.) I mainly have 1st generation diesels, and rolling stock of 60's era & earlier. I now live in the heart of the "evil empire," Omaha, NE, (UP's home.) It does have the advantage of lots of friends who work for UP. Love CNW & S gauge.
