Illinois Terminal Railroad, O’Fallon branch’s “Extra 1603”

It’s July 18th, 1961 and there is late work to do on the branch today. A crew has been called this afternoon to operate an extra train to deliver loaded tank cars to the Pennsylvania Railroad interchange at PAIT and switch a couple of cars at O’Fallon. GP7 #1603 will be their power today. This operation will show a good part of my lT layout, hope you enjoy.

    Great layout! I hope soon to do some of the belt line and yard I grew up around in Springfield. I already built the Cook Street overpass from IT prints. Also built the Mindale hump over the GM&O, hopefully soon modeling that area north too.
