"The concept for this layout depicting the Southern Pacific Railroad’s Shasta Division, Black Butte Subdivision in 1952 germinated in the mind of the Division Superintendent for many months. The idea began, in large part, during the course of visits to the very large, well designed layout of fellow modeler Scott Kew, with whom the Division Superintendent has spent many evenings during weekly “round robins” with the No Name Railroad Society performing numerous tasks on Scott’s layout, as well as those of Jim Providenza, Tom Combs, Bill Kaufman, and longtime friend, Philip Smith."
