Been putting together another "proto-freelance" paper railroad..the "Port Huron RR".
Would have it's start time around 1990..after the aqusition of the GTW's "paper spur".
Power at start up is GTW 4917
Customers (South to North):
DTE substation (32nd St)
Frank Steel
Mortimer Lumber
Muller Brass
EB Paper
Acheson Cholides
Dunn paper
Trains yard in the GTW yard..power is then tied down at the Grizwold crossing to await a new crew.
A former GTW SW1200 is added in 1995.
1999..the PHRR aquires the "Wadhams Spur" from CSX. This is the southern remnent of the former CSX/CO/PM "Port Huron Subdivision"..which was retained to service CF Industries amonia storage facility. A metal distribution facility sets up on the on Alan Rd..giving the 3 mile spur 2 customers..keeping the SW1200 busy.
Thats all for now..any questions of concerns..feel free to post!
