Railroad timeline, 1950-1989
Very useful. This will help me choose cars for my N scale version of the Burlington Northern 34th subdivision track plan you published. Thank you.
Andy,
If you could push that back to 1930 I could use it too. See, we’re never satisfied (the 1905 modelers are lurking and the post civil war guys are holding their breath). Of course you could just refer everyone to Figure 4-5 in Armstrong’s “Creative Layout Design”. 8
This is sad reading for me. Now, in one place, I can see the familiar and favorite railroading of my youth going away piece by piece.
A very helpful article. I will use this to help pick rolling stock for my layout.
Thanks.
Andy,
A tour de force compilation of railroad history that is certainly useful for planning a layout time-frame, but much more valuable, in my opinion, as a reference guide to the historical record of American railroading. Thank you for it.
Lots of good info…always interested in better understanding the year(s) certain diesels appeared …also interesting to read about the years of Bigger mergers …good article!!
Very instructive! This grear article presents in a consise and clear way all major rail realted events form the steam to diesel transition to the mega merger eras

This is very helpful. It helps put important events in their proper perspective as we try to determine the time line for what is correct for our own eras. Thank you.
