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"
