Quarry & Orchard: Steam Era Freelanced Railroad
Join Trackside as we tour Dan Allen’s freelanced Kitchen Canyon Railroad. The layout is based in rural northeastern Washington State in 1947. You’ll enjoy seeing this 10 x 12 foot (3.05 x 3.66 meter) railroad serving the Wauconda Quarry and the local apple orchards. The railroad interchanges with the Great Northern. This feature includes lots of full-page photos of the layout, an article about its construction and operations, and a railfanning video.
