South Line

Owner: Logan Bertolette
South Line layout portrays the remoteness of the SP over the former El Paso and Southwestern and includes the coaling tower at Mescal and the smelter at Douglas which occupies over 13 actual feet of wall including the slag pile.
The South Line was part of the Rio Grande Division, until that division was incorporated into the Tucson Division.
Hear the Logan's too humble description:
"Having neither the time, talent or finances to exactly replicate the SP in Southern Arizona, my goal was to capture the flavor of the ex-EP&SW’s South Line on SP’s Rio Grande Division.
As a teen growing up in the Southeastern portion of Arizona, I was fascinated by the remnants of the EP&SW and the mining and smelting operations so prevalent in the area.
The layout is housed in a 14’x22’ building which happens to be just a few feet from the former SP’s Coastline.
There is still much to do on the layout. The smelter at Calumet is not prototypical, but sufficiently hideous to serve. The Bisbee/Douglas peninsula, including the pit mine at Bisbee and the yard at Douglas, remains largely unfinished"

SP Coast Line - SLO

Owner: Andrew Merriam
Scale: HO
Era : 1953
SP Coast Line-based model railroad featuring Guadalupe, San Luis Obispo yards, the helper district "up the hill" to Santa Margarita and Stenner Creek viaduct.
The model railroad is based upon the Southern Pacific Coast Line in the early 1950’s steam and black widow diesel era. The model covers the area from Santa Margarita to Guadalupe including the Cuesta Grade horseshoe curve and the Stenner Creek Trestle. One branch line includes the Santa Maria Valley to the Betteravia sugar beet refinery. A second branch includes the award winning double track 1912 bascule bridge to the port of San Pedro.
Scenic highlights include Stenner Creek Trestle and Horseshoe Curve, Serrano to Cuesta Summit and Guadalupe and the six foot long bascule bridge module.
Scenery is about 75% complete.
The mainline totals about 340 feet with super elevated curves and handlaid track where visible. Operations are with Digitrax DCC and sound equipped locomotives.
Operations include yard switching, several peddlers and 4 through freights and 6 through passenger trains.

Roseville-Truckee District-"The Hill"

Owner: Jeff Rowe
Scale: O scale
Layout Location: San Ramon CA
Southern Pacific Roseville-Truckee District-"The Hill" Roseville Subdivision
The SP line from Oakland, CA to Ogden, Utah provides for many exciting
modeling possibilities. There are several major yards and terminals, a wide
variety of terrain from flat lands, hills and the towering Sierra mountain range.
The line from Sacramento to Sparks, Nevada (AKA “the hill” or Roseville
Subdivision) is the section I chose to model. It has steep grades, tunnels, snow
sheds, and heavy traffic. To get trains over Donner Pass, SP employed several
different engine types over the years from 4-10-2, the famous 4-8-8-2 cab
forwards, Alco PS’s, and SD-40/45 T-2’s. Motive power from the Rio Grande and
UP were also frequently used. Most consists were freight and produce from CA to
the east coast. But passenger trains such as the San Francisco Limited, the Gold
Coast, the Overland Limited, City of San Francisco, plus locals and mail trains
also provide plenty of modeling opportunities.
Obviously, it would require an enormous facility to model the full scope of the
line from Roseville to Sparks. In the limited space I have available, the
compromise was to concentrate on the Roseville and Truckee section known as
the Hill or Mountain district. The Colfax to Norden section are in the planning
stages. The time frame is the early to mid 1950’s when SP began phasing out
steam and switching to diesel. Some contemporary operation with newer SD-
40/45 and T-2’s is also enjoyed.
The layout occupies a 20’ x 23’ garage in my San Ramon CA home

Cuesta Grade

Owner: Robert Raymond
Layout Location: Orlando ?

Cuesta Grade simulates Southern Pacific Railroad Operations between California’s Watsonville and San Luis Obispo in 1951.
The railroad runs off a rough copy of the actual timetable, moving freight and passengers in an efficient manner.
A computer dispatches the layout under TT&TO format.

Southern Pacific Dalsa Cutoff

Owner: Joe & Sharon Mainz
Scale: HO
Era : 1970s- early 1980s
Layout Location : Texas
Featuring the Espee line across central Texas between Hearne and Flatonia.
It's in a building we built for it just out of our back door.
I've been an avid SP fan since the late 1950s. Over the years we've made several trips to Flatonia, about 80 miles east of San Antonio. That's where the Dalsa Cutoff, originally constructed as a shortcut between Dallas and San Antonio, connects to the New Orleans-Los Angeles Sunset Route.
The Flatonia Subdivision, as the Dalsa Cutoff was formally known, formed a strategic link between the Cotton Belt connection in Corsicana, Texas and the Sunset Route to L.A. It was part of the route of the SP's - at times the world's fastest freight trains, the Blue Streak Merchandises or "BSMs," from St. Louis and Memphis to Los Angeles. - Ed.
The layout depicts the line between Hearne and Flatonia, part of the Southern Pacific's Austin Division in the 1970s and early 1980s.I've also modeled the connection with the transcontinental Sunset Route at Flatonia
