Florida Garden Railway Society's


November 2001 Members Tour



November 4, 2001

Marcia & Bob Pero
The PERO's hosted the October meet in Lutz.
The " Live Oak & Northern-LA Division " is a subsidiary
of the good old Southern Pacific Railroad.
The railroad has been under construction for over two
years and a great deal of site prep went into this wonderful
layout. The design has the roadbed elevated about 18" above
the ground for better viewing and photography angles as well
as to avoid the possibility of flooding in the florida weather.
Their are two main lines totaling over 600' for track not to
mention the elaborate switching yard as well as the engine sheds
You must see this for yourself.
