Re: Back to modeling the UP once again.
Hi Charles! Yes, sort of. I've been actively sketching out things for a while now...going back some 30+ years with it. I'm intrigued by the old Union Carbide plant at SSM and intend to recreate it as a key focal point. Sanborn maps and photographs show that it was a maze of tracks going every which way. One can see from satellite photos where the line to Detour would probably have started, and I'm putting a yard in that spot. It will mark the interchange between the SOO/DSS&A operated belt lne, and the free lance line to points south. I suspect that yard will be a refined version of the one I donated to Dave. Potential names for the lines south of SSM are Algoma Southern, Interlake or Lake Huron & Northern. I like all three to varying degrees, but the LH&N has previously been used by another modeler, so I may avoid that.
