The New York, Pennsylvania and Baltimore Central Railroad is a mythical merger of my three favorite railroads. The time period can vary from 1950 through 1967, based on what motive power is running (Steam through second generation Diesels). The track plan is essentially a point to point single track main with passing sidings and hidden staging yards at each end. Phase 1 of the railroad was completed in November 2008. No Scenery has/will be started (except backdrops) until sufficient operating sessions have occurred to “bullet proof” the track and it confirm it operates as envisioned.
