Sign Board

The packing plant building was originally red, but turned green over the years do to exposure to the sun. The cattle in the stock pens look healthy and we hope that the meat doesn't change color like the building did! A diesel servicing facility provides support for a small switch engine that works the cars coming in and going out of this industrial area.

Description & History

The picture shows where Red Caboose manual turnout throws were installed on this module. Those oversized throws have been removed and the turnouts have been replaced with Peco Electrofrogs. The rails near the front of the module on the track leading to the rear of the module have been trimmed and the rear tracks have been abandoned in place.
