It runs in the northeast corner of Maine connectingwith the Maine Central at Guilfoyle Junction in the south andwith the Canadian Pacific Railway at Inwood on the US/Cana-dian border in the north.The GCR has three branch lines as well, including theAbbie Springs branch that connects at Inwood and runs downto the coast. This is the section of the Great Central that Imodel. Because of the light rail and the weight restrictions onbridges, the GCR has a fleet of GE 70 ton diesels that handlethis line.The engine house for this branch is at Inwood, and on agood day you will see the 70 Tonners plus GCRs and CPRsGP-9s. This makes for some very interesting railfanning.

My father and grandfather were both O scalers; my fatherhad a trolley layout and my grandfather had a steam layout.
