The corporate history of the predecessor lines was really good. All railroads started like that.
The more I read the more I love the M-I. I’m into the stations now, slowly going west toward the river, reading everything, and realize what a great prototype to model this road is. No really huge yards or terminals, small engine shops, mostly small carloading on line customers largely Ag branch and small town type stuff, small steam engines, country interchanges. All are things that fit well on a layout. I’m captivated and finding a thousand ideas for my layout. With more to come.

I really like the super-enlarged photos. You can lose yourself into being in them.
