I grew up near Tama, Iowa close to the former Iowa Division mainline of the Milwaukee Road. I have documented nearly 200 miles of the abandoned mainline.

I am currently living in La Crosse, WI. I am building a V Scale route called the Tama & Central Iowa Railroad which will utilize some of the former Milwaukee main and other abandoned lines from the Chicago & NorthWestern, the Chicago Great Western, and the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific.
