| Looking South down the UP main line just south of Chester, Illinois. The line begins at Dupo, Illinois. There is a holding yard here for a ballon track that has a rotary dumper for taking coal from unit trains and loading them on barges on the Mississippi River. If you look closely, there is a UP train waiting for a clear signal to head north. |
| Wayne Burling and Ali Shahriary jointly built a two-module engine facility. This is the left end, with a roundhouse and turntable and Chessie engine from Atlas. Wayne's CN engine shares the ready track. |
| This is the middle of the 2 N-Trak modules, showing a Bachmann double sanding tower setup. Ali models the Burlington Northern. Wayne concentrates on Canadian National and Grand Trunk motive power. |
