Hey Listmeisters,
I am working on my N scale empire, and need to
get some photos of the passenger station and/or any other rail facilities in the
general area of Latrobe, PA, circa 1976. (the OTHER transition era). My
imagined shortline connects with the PC at Latrobe, and follows the general
direction of the Ligonier Valley, then crosses Laurel Mountain via the South
Penn (Turnpike? what Turnpike?) to Somerset.
My concept is the last days of PC and the early
days of CR, with my "Laurel Valley" being a spin-off line bearing
bridge traffic to the B&O and Western Maryland on the other side of the
mountain. (Yes, in my world, WM survives Chessie the Knife). Anyhoo,
never having actually been to Latrobe, it is hard for me to flavor the junction
properly.
I am interested also in getting some idea of
major shippers that would have been in the area, so I can pick a few to
model. (Naturally, the home of Rolling Rock Beer will be paid proper
homage).
Any help would be appreciated. If you can
direct me to some websites that's fine, or e-mail me off list and shoot me some
jpeg's direct.
In exchange, I have a few pictures of the
Baltimore area, mostly during the CR era, if you are interested.
Thanks again.
Lee
