Jim Hediger wrote about the Airlake Park in Lakeville in the June 2002 Model Railroader. I discussed the place with him (and with Joe Fehr, who works for Progressive Rail) on the LDSIG (layout Design Special Interest Group) yahoo forum a while ago, back in december of 2007, when I was considering doing a layout based on Progressive Rail (before I decided to go more urban and back in the 1950s instead).
You can find the discussion threads on the LDSIG forum here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ldsig/message/73443 and here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ldsig/message/73465
BTW, and for whatever it may be worth, I put some notes on and tried to illustrate how Jim Hedinger described the interchange between CP and PGR (as it were in 2000/2001) on this web page: http://home.online.no/~steinjr/trains/mo...index.html
But the article you are thinking about is probably the one Steve Glischinski did for Trains magazine back in June of 2007.
