The layout has a 365′ long single track mainline and uses NCE DCC. It operates as a subsidiary of the New York Central between terminals at Ashtabula, Ohio and Pittsburgh, PA. during the transition from steam to diesel. There are five intermediate villages with wayside industries, four with passing sidings. There also is a parallel B&O highline with no sidings. The terminals are back-to-back, allowing through running and re-staging. Four-hour operating sessions involve 30 passenger and freight trains and are controlled by a dispatcher using my 2-way radios.
