State of the System 1-13-02 – image 2

As I take a look at the current map, I see a few places that could really use a map:1) It would be nice to have a yard between Jacksonville, FL and the new Perryville Jct map, maybe in North Carolina. This would open a new east coast corridor.2) A yard in western Pennsylvania would be nice...3) A yard in Ohio would be nice...4) A north ward extension out of Chicago would be cool, maybe to Milwaukee...5) A north ward extension out of Des Moines would be cool, maybe to Minneapolisl...Just some ideas,
Jim

I'm starting to work on a map in Pgh, and I have a potential one in the Milwaukee area. I'll be sending you images soon. I also have some yards and industrial areas planned in the Cleveland area.Paul Metzger

Yes, I agree. Definitely need an east coast route up from Jacksonville. I've been looking for some good locations to do up the east coast, CSX probably. Waycross, GA north of Jacksonville maybe then Savannah, GA, Charleston, SC perhaps. I'm fighting a bad cold right now but will start looking in earnest when I am feeling better. Alan

Jim-How does Toledo, OH, sound to you? Lots of yards, junctions, and industries. Feeds directly off the north side of Fostoria. Also, the ore docks would certainly add a unique industry to the system. If you think it'd be worthwhile, I can tackle that after I work my way across Selkirk. Take a look from on high...

The ore docks are top-center, and I think that's CSX Walbridge Yard due south one click. Will take some research to determine what & where everything is, but you know me & research! -Dave

Yeah, Toledo looks really interesting, the way the yard extends right out into the lake like that.Jim
