Recently, I was in Southern California and
had the opportunity to see Long Beach port up
close. What a treat! The flurry of operations
and the coordination that kept freight moving
efficiently was an amazing sight to behold.
Of course, not everyone has the opportunity to
see Long Beach for himself, but what every
railroad modeler can do is bring Long Beach
home! And, as you can see below, Historic
Rail has everything you need to do that.
And that’s just the beginning. From this
page to the last, this catalog is filled with the
railroading subjects and eras that interest you,
from the Old West of the 1800s to 21st century
New England and everything in-between.
