  • TitleIt looks like the real thing
  • SummaryIt looks like the real thing--Beyond the three-track mainline ... in the foreground and the WYE section out of which a freight is moving, there's that entirely new ... section that club members are so proud of. This section has three new sidings in front of the main station--the nearest to the station being the Railway Express track, the center track for the coal yard, which has a coal trestle, and the lower track for the lumber yard. In the background, the uncompleted city and the distant hills and countryside."
