Layout at a Glance

The Kerhonkson Lackawack & Peekamoose (KL&P) is derived from my father's initials, KLP. Kenneth L. Potter worked for the Delaware & Hudson RR from 1927 to 1974 in Mechanicville, Mohawk Yard and as Chief Clerk at the Schenectady Freight House. These three locations, actually exist in the southern Hudson Valley of New York. The KL&P prototypes the D&H operations from Binghamton to Plattsburg in the 1940-1950s era. By using Elmira and Montreal, as imaginary off-line destinations, loop or point-to-point operations can be scheduled.
