Re: Modelling ET&WNC after 1950 question.

Hi Lee,
I agree with your thoughts about how could the ET&WNC narrow gauge survived beyond the early 1950s. Finding valuable minerals, such as a new iron ore deposit near Cranberry, would be one option. The Tweetie could have bought hopper cars from the EBT as they reduced train operations in the early 1950s and then shutting down in 1955. Tourst train operations could have been developed at the same time. GE developed its 52-ton end-cab locomotive in the 1957 with dynamic brakes. A small number of these locomotives were sold to a railroad in Costa Rica in 1957.
