Gateway NMRA Rail Op 2011 Layout

AT&SF and CB&Q Railroads

CB&Q and AT&SF in Northern Colorado is the emphasis on this large 35'x40' HO railroad. Multi-cab lash-ups and long trains are frequent on this layout which features three yards, one of them primarily for reefers. A coal mine, diesel facility and other assorted industries are in evidence. Mountains and 1,000' of track provide a setting in which trains can appear and disappear seemingly at will. Hidden yards below the layout provide storage for several trains.
