Someone E-mailed me about the limited operations the 1870's would provide.
"Isn't it backwoods, podunk railroading, you know shortline stuff. Not real railroading"
The DL&W yard in Scranton, 1877 during the strike. Podunk, no.
Actually most large model railroad trackplans depict a physical plant more suited to the 1870's than the more modern era depicted. In the 1870's there were fast freights, express passenger, sleepers and large industries.
