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!

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...

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.

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.

I grew up in, and still spend much time in, Linden, New Jersey. On the old PRR mainline, now Amtrak and NJ Transit Northeast Corridor, and Conrail Chemical Coast Secondary. Very small yard here with one GP38-2, a caboose, and a SnoJet type ice melting machine.

I then spent 12 years in Scotch Plains, NJ. From my house I could see the old Lehigh Valley tracks that Conrail turned into the mainline going into Oak Island, Newark NJ yard. Many "Big Blue" trains everyday, with a passing siding to boot!

I now live in the hills of northwest NJ, which were criscrossed by a few, small mining railroads that brought iron ore and zinc down to.....first, the Morris Canal......and later, to the CNJ. The remains of a few furnaces/forges are in the woods around here. This is where George Washington got his cannon balls. The last mine closed in 1959, even though much ore remains and the vein is right at the surface. Conrail drills a few small industries here once a week or so.

I found the replies quite interesting. I live in Neenah Wisconsin, located between Packerland and Brew town. I live 1 and 1/4 miles from a railroad yard known from my child hood as Soo Line and was Wisconsin Central, Now being served by Canadian National. The Fox river valley as it is called is the second largest industrial hub in the state, whose prime products is the failing paper industry. During my childhood CNW, and Milwaukee Road also serviced this town. My two favorite train cars a Soo Line Box Car and a Soo Line Caboose.

Tuxpan, Veracruz, Mexico. On the Gulf Coast, about 500 miles south of the U.S./Mexico border. Nearest operational trains are about 120 miles north in Tampico. Years ago (pre-1960) there were a couple of small narrow gauge lines in the area, primarily industrial in nature) that served the local oil industry. Unfortunately no traces remain today.

Now just get the sand/gravel deliveries to the local industry. I sit outside and listen to the switching all the time. Too many trees between me and the tracks.

Used to have a Sante Fe branchline, C&NW (former Rock Island), and Milwaukee Road mainlines within a 20 mile radius. U.P. of course has the C&NW and SOO (now CN?) owns former Milwaukee Road. Sante Fe pulled up rails about the same time BN scrapped trackage from St.Joe to Brookfield Missouri.

Carmichael, in north-central California, just out of Sacramento and about seven miles west of Roseville, where the big UP (former SP) yard is. It's about fifteen miles west of the Sierra Foothills and the old SP Donner Pass line. So naturally, I model Rio Grande Big Steam, right? Go figure.

Green Bay, WI. However, grew up in Indian Head Park, Il and used to ride METRA to work every day during summers and holidays down into Chicago. Grew up right on the RACETRACK - talk about a childhood filled with great railroading.

Also was able to go to the DuPage County Fairgrounds once a month for the Great Midwest Train Show. THE BEST!!!! Greasy burgers, tons of sellers, some GREAT layouts (Little Q especially), etc... Dad and I used to go out to the White Pines Model Railroad Club in Bensonsville to see their GIGANTIC layout.

Good stuff......

Me too, as in I must be here 'cause I'm not all there. <rim shot>

But seriously folks...I was born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, but moved to this area back in 1979 so I could buy a house I could afford in a decent area, and then start a family.

HERE, is the small "city" (pop. 10K about) of Peru, IL which is on the Illinois River about 90 miles southwest of Chicago, 60 miles northeast of Peoria. I decided to model a rural area, granger railroad so if I needed to see how something looked or scenery, etc. in the country, I can hop in the car drive about four blocks to the Illinois River Bridge, cross over, and be out in the country in a manner of minutes. Very convenient to my modeling! Now if I could only get a time machine and go back...

I live about 25 miles west of downtown Chicago in small suburb. The (former) Milwaukee Road's west line is two blocks south of me. METRA commuter trains to/from Chicago utilize the line (watching the parade of commuter trains during the evening rush hours is a blast), along with freight traffic. All this double-tracked stretch of line needs to be totally awesome is some Amtrak service thrown in! I'd always be trackside, taking pictures.

I cannot imagine why you want to know where everybody lives, but if it makes you happy I'll tell you my whereabouts and my reply makes the forum more international too: I live in a little village just 10 miles west of Amsterdam, in a "polder" which means land that used to be an inland sea and was made artificially dry about 150 years ago and is at least 20' below sea level. I never worry about inundations however since Schiphol airport is my neighbour and they will never allow the fourth largest airport in Europe to get inundated. And by the way I never go to Amsterdam, I don't like that city.

I grew up in Gainsville, GA near the NS (Sou) mainline and their was also a small CSX (Gainesville Midland) spur. I'm now in college in Athens, GA which is near a CSX (SAL) mainline and has a small NS (Central of Georgia) spur.[:)]
