I love this place, mainly because of my love of the North Shore Line and Milwaukee Road.

I have great memories of being up in the tower with ex-Milwaukee Road tower operator Bob Brown one night.  Including him making a WSOR train with 3 SD40-2's and 80+ cars back through the plant!  If I was ever going to model a tower and a panel, Rondout would be it... and a perfect Modutrak scene.

The panel was saved and is on it's way to IRM.
