The layout is based on Canadian National and Canadian Pacific in Southwestern Ontario in 1968. I am modelling portions of the Canadian National Fergus, Owen Sound, Durham and Southampton Divisions with large yards in Guelph, Palmerston and Owen Sound. I am also modelling portions of the Canadian Pacific Owen Sound, Teeswater Walkterton Subdivisions with large yards in Orangeville and Owen Sound. There were small branchlines all over this portion of the province. They are almost all gone now. There were multiple furniture factories in most of the towns as well as significant industry in Walkerton, Owen Sound, Guelph and Orangeville. These small branchlines used small four axel locomotives from GMD, Alco and CLC. RDC's provided passenger service to Owen Sound on both CP and CN as well as Walkerton / Southhampton (CN).
