Terry from Boise, ID

I grew up in Sherman, TX (1960's and 1970's) with a grandfather who was an engineer on the Frisco railroad. He took me on several trips which, as you can imagine, were trips of a lifetime. I am now making a childhood dream come true by getting into model reailroading. Of course, I plan on utilizing nothing but Frisco trains which are hard to find in the northwest ( where Union Pacific is king). So, I found this site to hopefully help me locate all models.

Terry -

Your UP friends should know ..... there was a good history of run-throughs with SLSF units on the UP and vice-versa.

Welcome to frisco.org!

Before I retired, I had responsibility for a major plant in Idaho, and was in Boise often. Love that part of the country! We shipped a lot of product on the UP, and I got to know them well. UP was our major rail carrier, my plant being a major reason for that.
