Newberg Branch

HO Scale – 1970 to present
Owner: Richard Wrede
Layout Location: __ ?
The Newberg Branch is a real branch line of the Southern Pacific, running between Cook and St Joseph, near Portland Oregon. It was a busy “shortcut” between Brooklyn Yard and the West side Line. McMinnville isn’t really on the line, it is one time table stop to the south, but I liked the pictures of McMinnville I’ve seen and thought it looked much like my area.
UPDATE:
11/10/02, as of 09/02, the "SP's Newberg Branch" has left the property. Needless to say, it was difficult to tear it apart, but a growing family demanded it. I hope to have a smaller shelf layout someday.
