Hi Folks
I'm just getting started in model railroading. My interest is in the transition from steam to diesel (circa late 30's to early fifties). I am particularly interested in re-creating a rail yard in the town of Ryderwood, WA, which was a large logging camp where my grand-dad was a machinist. I know what some of the locos were, but need help finding information on the yard trackage, and perhaps some of the grades to the logging sites and into the mills in Longview, WA. Anyone have any info of the area and era? Any input is appreciated.
Thanks,
moe-train
