Salt Creek and Eastern Railroad
The Salt Creek and Eastern Railroad is a freelance HO railroad with an eastern flavor. With over 400 feet of single track mainline and several online towns, there's plenty of activity during an operating session to keep several crews busy. If you like to dispatch, work the yard, switch local industries, run helpers, or run main line trains, there's something here for you. Operation is by timetable and trainorder. Train control is by Digitrax. Visit the Salt Creek and Eastern RailroadChuck Tuttle's HOSalt Creek and Eastern Railroad
