"Chicago and Northwestern Railroad" is the rail line that Dale models.
The
reason he chose this roadname is because this was the railroad that served
his country elevator, until the time it was abandoned in approximately 1973.
As time continues, working with this page, we will have photos of
his model
railroad and will point out many interesting points of work
he has done on it.
As with most model train hobbyists, he also collect
railcars and engines.
We will make a count of the collection and report
to you.
Keep watching as this will be changing, almost daily.
