I am modeling the Milwaukee Road in Lynden, WA a small town with a few industries with operations in mind.
The Plan
I chose to model Lynden as I am really interested in operations and not just running a train around in circles. I have looked at other locations but have not been able to find the right mix of operations, track layout, and equipment type being used. I originally wanted a location that primarily had inbound/outbound shipments using 4427 or 4750 cu ft covered hoppers, 50' 6" exterior post box cars, and mechanical reefers along with a mix of other cars. However, if anyone can provide me with a location in the Midwest served by the Milwaukee Road that shipped inbound/outbound using covered hoppers, exterior post box cars, hi-cube boxcars, and the occasional mechanical reefer or tank car I would be interested, especially if it is a place I can go see the actual area.

Love that carpeted roadbed :)
