Glenn Paulson's Conrail Mountain Division

The Conrail  Mountain Division is a 1500’ square foot double deck layout.   The layout is run with Digitrax and most trains run with at least one sound locomotive in the consist.  Moving heavy freight trains and operations are the focus of the railroad.  Many trains a day service the Karra Steel Mill and neighboring Karra Slab and Cartwright Coil.  Helpers are needed to get heavy trains up the mountain. Occasionally they are needed for their dynamic braking to get heavy coal trains from the mines down the mountain.    Fast clocks are used for scheduled passenger trains, double stacks and piggyback trains.  Bridge traffic and local freights move from Pittsburgh and Philadelphia  on a double track main with a stretch of triple track as faster trains overtake slower ones through the mountains. Scenery is well underway.
