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......

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.

White Lake, Michigan. West of Pontiac, and North of Detroit, but not as far from Detroit as I'd like to be. Somebody made the comment earlier about being in the right and left armpits. I guess Detroit is farther down and to the rear, if you get my meaning?[:D]

Groton, Connecticut. Submarine Capital of the World. Home of the U.S.'s largest submarine builder, Electric Boat and also home to the U.S. Naval Submarine Base New London. (Don't ask why NAVSUBASE New London is in Groton. The answer is long, involved, and not particularly interesting.)

Can you tell that I'm a retired Navy submariner?

Northwest of Lake Placid, NY, 40 miles south of the Canadian border.

Simply, the best place on earth. Not necessarily for watching trains though.

A good old thread, and a good one to introduce my new user name, Muddy Creek. (Put NorthernStudio back into strictly professional usage only.) I'll be bothering you all as the Muddy Creek & Northern moves off the CAD computers and onto foam.

I missed this one too. Northwest of Kansas City and due east of St.Joseph- right along the old Hannibal & St.Joe(CB&Q) main. 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.
