BNSF Orin Line

In early 2006 I begain my 3rd model railroad.  This time I went back to Eastern Wyoming as my theme for what would become the BNSF Orin Line.  I completed this layout about 1 1/2 years later and displayed it at both the 2009 and 2010 Train Expo in Council Bluffs.  This layout is featured on the cover of the Jan/Feb 2011 N Scale Railroading.
