Furniture manufacturer, Farley & Loetscher, is an on-line customer.The painted backdrop depicts Dubuque with high bluffs and the Fennelon Street Elevator, a funicular railroad that climbs the bluff between downtownand a west side neighborhood.The Great Western Railroad(GWRR) is a prototype-basedfreelanced O Scale model rail-road. Although the layout islarge, measuring almost 1,400square feet, I did build the rail-road myself.The Great Western isdesigned with an operat-ing purpose and plan. Somemodelers advise getting start-ed with operations as soonas possible, even if only thetrack is in place. Concernedthat I’d not have the time orinclination to finish scen-ery and structures once therailroad was operational, Ichose to keep working on thelayout. While “operations”has had to wait, I’d like toshare the operations schemethat the layout was designedaround, and that I’m anxiousto implement.The railroad is a line thatconnects Milwaukee withOmaha, thus avoiding Chi-The Dubuque Turn (Train 121) is heading back to Dodgeville. The CP box car is standing on a track next to the John Deereplant which is not a GWRR customer. The Milwaukee Road switches the Deere plant on the west side.• O Scale Trains - Sept/Oct ’05cago. The line consists of mostly abandoned segments of theMilwaukee Road, Chicago & North Western and the ChicagoGreat Western, with newly constructed track connecting Lan-caster, Wisconsin with Dubuque, Iowa.The 1970-era Great Western survives by moving freight expe-ditiously from points in southern Wisconsin and Iowa to the West,connecting with the Union Pacific at Council Bluffs, Iowa, acrossthe Missouri River from Omaha. Westbound traffic consists ofmanufactured goods, agricultural products and, of course, beer.Eastbound traffic includes perishables such as meat and produce,agricultural products, and manufactured goods.Two manifest freights operate daily each way between Mil-waukee and Council Bluffs (MCB-1 and MCB-3 westbound andCBM-2 and CBM-4 eastbound). To maintain an aggressive timeschedule these through freights stop only at the three divisionpoints, Dodgeville in Wisconsin, Oelwein and Fort Dodge inIowa. There, cars are set out and pickups are made for localpoints in either direction within the division. Locals (out ofthe two terminals) and turns (out of each of the three divisionpoints) serve to distribute local traffic.Unique to each division is some distinctive local and cap-tive traffic. That is particularly true of the modeled segment ofthe GWRR, the Dodgeville Division that runs between Madisonand Dubuque.Through trains, originating at a hidden staging/fiddle yardcalled “Fairgrounds”, stop at Dodgeville to drop off local trafficand pick up freight to be forwarded to either east- or westbounddestinations. MCB-1 arrives in Dodgeville at 10:00 a.m. andMCB-3 at 4:00 p.m. CBM-2 arrives at 5:30 p.m. about the timeMCB-3 departs. CBM-4 arrives at 11:15 p.m.Daily turns work from Dodgeville to both Madison andDubuque, which means that there is considerable back-hauling.For example, a through train from Council Bluffs with freightdestined for Dubuque will carry it through that city to Dod-geville, a point 45-50 miles east. Then the Dubuque turn willtake that freight back west to Dubuque. It’s all about keepingSept/Oct ’05 - O Scale Trains • 5 [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
