The Mogollon Railroad

[nachoman]

lajry - I certainly have! My layout and railroad are named after the Mogollon Mountains, in southwest New Mexico, just east of the area in which I am modeling. There is also a ghost mining town of Mogollon in the area, and the area was also inhabited by the ancient Mogollon culture. All were named after a former Spanish governor of New Mexico. When I was creating my fictional railroad, I wanted it to be loosely based on various mining towns in the southwest New Mexcio, southeast Arizona, and Northern Mexico area, but not to faithfully model a specific one. I chose the name so that it identifies the region without being specific to the locality.
