Belt Railway of Chicago

BRC605 Posted by Hello


A new blog devoted to my thinking about trains, both model and prototype. Here is a pic of a BRC Alco Century C-424. Pairs of these passed my apartment in La Grange Park along the IHM\BRC tracks on their way to Proviso in the mid-80s. They made a very distinctive sound always giving good notice to make it to the window in time to view them.

Atlas released a model decorated for BRC in December 2003. I have a pair of their earlier releases custom decorated for BRC too.

The BRC has an excellant webpage with a nice photo section.
