Great Northern Railway -
Kalispell Division Layout
Operation.
My GN Layout was built
and is maintained
to have operating sessions.
The most important feature
of my GN Layout
operating system
is that no set up is required
between operating sessions.
Other features include
magnetic dispatching inside helix,
dispatcher clearance via intercom,
stagemaster in stage,
2 sided train orders,
2 sided waybills,
live loads for all open cars,
extensive car forwarding
for its First Class Trains
and seasonal extra trains.
We have tried numerous methods
of car forwarding with live loads
and best has been 2 sided waybills
with specific train routings.
Thanks GN Layout operating crew
for your continued interest
in our high level of operation.
GREAT Circus Train Web Site
contains examples
of GN Layout operation
thru its entire Kalispell Division
as Great Circus Train XCW
"Extra Circus West" with 17 cars
pulled by 2 steam locomotives
runs from Havre, Montana
to Shelby, Montana,
unloads at Shelby,
loads at Shelby,
