My layout is based on the Chicago, South Shore, and South Bend Railroad from Randolph Street Station in Chicago to South Bend, Indiana. It is based in the mid 1960s when I first saw the railroad in South Bend. The layout is 30 by 60 foot. Running NCE DCC and signaling via CTC using C/MRI.
It and several other deep shaft tipples are the basis for a free lanced tipple which will be located in one of the southern PA coal fields and served by the PB&J. It will be known as J. Withrow #1.
