Date: 02/27/17 14:28 Re: GEMCO Yard in Van Nuys, California Author: StarshipConductor And this is what I was doing on Conductor Bill Hatrick's Private Car's "The Overland Trail" and "The Pacific Trail".
I've been helping Bill when he has large crowds. This is a lot of fun! His "VINO TRAINS" are Awesome! And now a word from our sponser: www.larail.com    Date: 02/27/17 14:29 Re: GEMCO Yard in Van Nuys, California Author: CPRR Coalca Wrote:

I figure the local hire ups where playing poker, and the loser had to redo Gemco Yard....... Date: 02/27/17 14:41 Re: GEMCO Yard in Van Nuys, California Author: StarshipConductor Before I retired a few years back, the word was Gemco Yard might be rebuilt account of future traffic out of
Port Hueneme and the Ventura County Railroad. If traffic was to increse, Gemco would have to be rebuilt to handle the influx of new business and traffic as a major support yard. One thing is for sure, Gemco's life span has just been incresed! LOL Date: 02/27/17 15:30 Re: GEMCO Yard in Van Nuys, California Author: callum_out Yah that was on that list too, right behind pigs flying. Figured sooner or later when GM went that the
yard would be called "Gonco". Nice to have the crystal ball screw up once in a while. Out Date: 02/27/17 16:57 Re: GEMCO Yard in Van Nuys, California Author: cewherry Glad to see you're finally reading your orders! Only 43 years too late. Ellis Nighshwonger would be proud.
On a happy note, I'm glad to see you having some fun. Enjoy the ride Steve. PS: I do remember operator Cornelius but can't seem to place where he frequented. Boooaard!!

This may include that work.

Oh don't worry... my close-minded neighborhood knocked down any chance of double tracking in the Valley. I tried! Jason Eminian Smith Brothers Hobby Center Northridge, CA |
