Milwaukee, WI - Since the last update in the Summer of 2011, much has occurred on the Superior Division. The Superintendent has traveled around the country with his spouse to learn more about railroads large and small. The trip took them along a route which they followed over 50 years ago. During that trip, the Superintendent was taken ill and his travels as well as his work on the Superior Division were cut short.
Gladly, we at the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Public Relations Department can report that the Superintendent is on the mend. Work on his Superior Division has resumed at a feverish pace. Instead of only debating and theorizing approaches to construction, we are now making tangible progress in the layout room. Track has been laid and energized on the hidden ramp which connects Milwaukee/Chicago staging to the East Green Bay industrial area. An electrical bus is in place so that the remainder of tracks in East Green Bay can be electrified as tracks are laid in the near future. The Superintendent has graciously agreed to double the pay of his volunteers for our hard work! We hope to expand the operable segment of railroad well into East Green Bay tomorrow.
Up-to-date track plans will be posted soon, along with progress pictures and a few videos of trains. Stay tuned!
