Currently located in southern California, I'm a geographer, former railroader (not Frisco), transportation & land-use planner and cartographer. My primary interests have been the SP and UP, but I've had a long-running secondary interest in the SLSF, especially the UP-SLSF-SCL run-thru operations. I've always liked the Frisco's paint schemes (esp. orange & white), diesel locomotive variety, and the scenery / geography of the Ozarks & southern Missouri. I was sorry to see the road merge into the BN. I'm glad to have found this nicely-organized & informative forum. I'm just starting on a small display layout having been a member of several formal & informal clubs in the past. Robert
Damn .. I had a very good friend who lived in La Verne who passed away several years ago. I am in Temecula (sorry = thought it was showing there)
