CF&E Action/Short Line Action.

[FCIN]

Ed,I really like that Columbia Terminal Railroad unit.I also believe that would be a mighty fine short line to model.

Larry;
I have family out in Missouri not far from Columbia and always check out COLT when I go out that way. It is indeed an interesting short line. Owned by the city of Columbia, they've managed to get quite a few customers on the line. Primary business seems to be handling coal to the Columbia Municipal Power Plant in blocks of about 20 cars two or three times a week.

I understand that they are going to start running a dinner train out of Columbia with equipment painted in Wabash hertiage colors. I'm hoping to get back out that way toward the end of the summer to check that out.

Here are some links about the COLT that you may find interesting...
