Welcome to the Copper Rail Depot Saloon outdoor model railroad:

Layout as of 2010: The original track was in the Tsedi-na (Chitina) / McCarthy / Kennecott area (red - green).  This section is no longer in use. The Tsedi-na segment and part of the McCarthy segment has been pulled up and removed, much as was the case with its prototype, the Chitina Branch of the Copper River & Northwestern Railway, during the 1950s and 1960s. Today that segment is treated as "abandoned track." This area includes significant segments of the model towns of Kennecott, McCarthy and Chitina as they existed in the 1920s. 

The new ALCANEX Route consists of the blue mainline and sidings going through the model layout of Cicely and the railroad yards of Cantwell and North Sleetmute. All of this is elevated except for the Sulphur Springs wye, which a turn-around. The model railroad runs only infrequently and occasionally by request in advance for group viewing.
