CSX/Conrail in Lansing
Posted: Sat Mar 05, 2016 5:16 pm
I have several on here on my Facebook group for my layout, but for those who are not on Facebook, I wanted to show off a little of my work in progress layout. My main focus is CSX but I also am going to include Conrails GM Ops. Itll expand as I build modules
From the Grand River Ave Crossing showing CP North Lansing. To the left is the industrial track. This will be hidden behind a scaled down Demmer Plant and will be switched by Conrail YDLA. The Old US27/Cedar St bridge is seen in the background
Looking down Turner St, Biochot Cement and the tank car industry that is on the east end of Ensel. Not sure what it was called in my era. The switch for the Old Town spur is in the foreground. I may include it later as a fold down extension.
Heart Truss diamond and the east end of Ensel. Conrail is the outer line, which also will double as a passing siding for CSX. Need to get some more switches to finish the west end.
Going around, this will be Padnos Iron and Metal, including the former DTI boxcar that was turned into a scrappers toolshed
Saginaw yard and General Motors BOC Plant #3
The South end of Saginaw yard. I have one more module to build for this which will be Saginaw Highway and the Fisher Body Verlinden plant
I'm hoping to include an interior for BOC #3. Three shuttle cars are shown
