The PWMRC Open House on April 1, 2006 was a great day at the Quantico Train Depot. We had many visitors to see our progress on the layout. Each week we are adding scenery & buildings and working on the track and wiring.

Our regular monthly Open House is the first Saturday of the month...come & see our progress.

Scenery work is progressing nicely on the mountainside between Powell's Creek and Cooper's Holler. Russ' Norfolk Southern leads a long string of roadrailers on the run to Evansport.

Union Station at Evansport is a busy place today. We find a mix of motive power at the head of two different passenger trains. In a few moments the passengers will be on their way to Armstrong and then south to Richmond.

With such a busy mainline, the Town of Quantico sees a wide variety of trains every day. Here we find Brion's Illinois Central rumbling by.
