Springfield Yard

This ‘HO’ gauge DCC operated layout depicts a small switching yard located at the end of a branch line somewhere in the North East USA /Southern Ontario region of North America.

The timeframe is circa 1970’s/1980’s and various local industries are served by the yard. Motive power is usually provided by the two resident Pennsylvania railroad switchers but occasional visits are made by larger locomotives from various North American railroads including CP, CN, ON, UP, and Conrail.
