A trio of Alco’s rounds the big bend and heads westward into the yard at Waseca on the Alco Line project I’m custom building in my shop.
For the last eighteen months I’ve been building a custom layout based on CNW’s Alco Line in Southern Minnesota. Because of the project size, we’ve handled it in phases. The first two phases have been installed and appeared as the cover story in the November issue of RMC.
The final phase, centered on the region around Waseca, is now complete and will be installed next week. Shown below are images of that last phase as well as the trackplan.
