The Town of Bradley

Bradley Yard provides access to several industries in the town of Bradley, named after grandson Bradley Heshmaty. The Johnston Bottling Plant is a popular tour stop, conveniently located next to the passenger station. The Johnston Bottling Plant was named  Hampton's Scottish  great-grandfather. Other industries within walking distance of the passenger station are: Betlach Barrel Co., Sharon Electric, Weber Cable Co., Schumacher Industries, Lewis Scrap Yard, a oil refinery and several storage tracks.

Upon entering Bradley you will notice Lewis Scrap Yard, named after Barb's dad who could fix just about anything from things located in his workshop. He didn't like to toss out anything that might come in handy someday.

At the East end of the yard is the yard master's tower making sure that the passenger car eventually get to the Bradley Depot. This is a tough job because of the many industries located  in the same area, and switching is rapid fire. Luckily Yardmaster Ken Riegle made things look easy.

Collin's Cove, (named after grandson Collin Larsh), is at the west end of Bradley Yard, where coal hoppers help maintain the employment of some of the area residents.

At the end of Collin's Cove is the tunnel entrance to Cuinn's Glenn.  This tunnel has a sharp curve into the glenn and most trains need to proceed with caution. Mainly because you can never be too sure if another train is coming directly at you on the track. This is why we have a dispatcher!
