This is what the Salt River Railway would look like if history was only a little different.
The connection at Ash Fork is the ATSF, the southern connections are the SP. The east trackage is to the copper mining towns.
Kyrene (the green dot) is the fictional setting of the main part of the layout (very fictional as it will have trees, since I really didn’t want to model a desert scene at this point.)
The map was found on-line at the Arizona Rail Passenger site http://www.azrail.org/station/index.htm
I’m not sure, but it appears that north of Prescott, it’s giving me the finger…[;)]
Nice Allan, Looks like you are using the old Pea Vine to Ash Fork, which is good. My only suggestion is that you rebuild the damaged track on the SP connection from Phoenix that the saboteurs blew up and reinstate traffic to Yuma and beyond on the SP.
Thanks for your idea on your previous post to raise the layout level so I can put my work bench under it and avoid wasting about 5 feet of precious garage space.
It’s definately the Pea Vine. As to the damaged track, that happened over 50 years after the time of the SORRy.
And “the finger,” - I guess that reflects the way the train crew feel climbing those grades from the valley. Not intended, but not bad.
Not going to try and get into Sedona for the toursit trade? More to the point, I would think you were nuts to try.
