Insight Behind the Operations of the Clifton Forge Division
Mike BurgettDescription
The Clifton Forge Division
In part three of the 11-part Chesapeake & Ohio series, Allen Keller and Mike Burgett discuss the Clifton Forge Division on the layout. The Chesapeake & Ohio model railroad has a total of three subdivisions, which interchange at the Clifton Forge Yard. In this particular video, Allen asks Mike two questions pertaining to the layout. The first question dives into the operations of the three subdivisions for a better understanding of how they work. Mike describes why he found the multiple subdivisions to be appealing to him from an operational standpoint. The second question inquires about the heavy use of coal hoppers on the layout. Most of the traffic on the Chesapeake & Ohio layout consists of coal hoppers. Mike touches on his considerable use of coal hoppers and why he prefers to use them as opposed to manifest trains.
In this series, Allen and Mike continue to explore the Chesapeake & Ohio layout. The eleven segments of the series offer a comprehensive and detailed look at the railroad. Keep watching for even more insights into Mike’s inspirations, tips on design elements, and much more.
