My Layout in July 2007

I originally posted these pictures on my old website on February 9, 2008.

I took these pictures of my HO-scale model railroad on July 28, 2007. The captions for these pictures were written as if my layout were a real railroad in Oregon called the Logan & San Miguel Railroad (or L&SM for short), and as if these pictures were historical photos posted on the company’s website.

The following series of photographs shows the passage of three trains through the towns of Logan and San Miguel and the surrounding vicinity in 1969.

First, a freight train powered by Union Pacific GP35 #762 & GP9 #321 crosses the San Miguel River.
