The line runs behind my house, So about 50' from property line. If I were a good thrower I could hit a train from my chair here. Or easily off my back porch. I miss all the SP freights that went by here when I first moved it.It was grand. GP35s SD45s and Tunnel Motors abounded. Date: 11/29/22 11:39 Re: Closest RR to you?
