J.B. Van Sciver was another of Camden's signature industries
in the 1950s. Although it did not have its own private siding (it does now!), I
wanted to include it in my Camden area. Their building had distinctive turrets
and its name plastered along the top of its walls to make sure the area knew
who to buy their furniture from.
I also added 3 staging tracks to hold the Philly
transfer runs. This should alleviate blockages in the Pavonia yard. Now the
switchers can pull the inbound cars, load the returns block and ship the
transfer runs back into staging. Then everything will be cleared to prep the
locals and the express freights. (At least that the theory - we will see later
in the month.)
This is really neat to see I am Russell VanSciver's Grand daughter. I just love old history and while I was surfing though the internet I saw your train set up. Loved it!!
