Auville: NW-Modeling-List Digest, Vol 16, Issue 12

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

I was the assistant yardmaster at Auville (via telephone and radio from 
Wilcoe) in the late 70's.  I believe I have some hand sketches of the yard 
layout that I could scan and email to you.  I have always thought Auville 
would be a good candidate for a layout.  The NW mainline was out beyond the 
Tug River, across the wye.  The Dry Fork branch line beside the yard would 
be much easier to model, with trains of mty's, short loads and loads to 
market coming and going from all directions.  Give me an email address and 
I will see what I can find.
