    History Lesson please...

    UP - Central Pacific never made it further east than Chicago AFAIK. CP (Canadian Pacific) was the 1st true trans-continental railway as it lines reached from the Atlantic coast all the way to the Pacific coast.

    New rail checker

    Hi Graham; I've seen similar problems with the PAs down at my club. No other loco seems to react this way, not the Dash 9s nor the LL or ConCor PAs. They seem to have a lot of difficulty with Peco code 80 switches in particular and I've been wondering if it has something to do with the...
