ELDORADO SPRINGS
    NO, this is isn't the real Eldorado Springs, I used it because it has a "Colorado" sound to it. Anyways, if your wondering what plan the town looks like, I used the "SOO Line" layout plan from a December MR. It's seems to be a good plan. Has  a yard that you can expand on and many switching possibilities too.
      This town is located just outside of Walsenburg, CO, about a good ten miles or so between them.  On the northern part of town, there is a small interchange track with the BNSF/UP Joint Line. Once you enter the yard you go right in to the town's station to tie up the train. After you tie up, one of Eldorado's local switchers will pull off your train so you can service up.
     Also, Eldorado Springs houses three industries to be switched. The first one is the local cattle pen. Local farmers will drop off their cattle here, so then they can be shipped North to Denver making stops in Pueblo, or going South to Cripple Creek NM. The second industry is the Eldorado Springs trucking company. Certain goods will stop here from Denver, Colorado Springs, Pueblo. Also goods may come from Alamosa, via their new SLRG line. These goods will be place into empty boxcars, or even some containers. The third industry in the town is the Eldorado Springs Chlorine. There are two tanks with chlorine on the southern edge of town. The local swithcer will spot them over the crossing into the place or on the short spur.
     Eldorado Springs yard is the longest yard on the whole CONM lines. The yard is about a 1ft. wide (amazing), and about 12ft. long. This yard has about 2 yard tracks; though long, which can hold up to about 11-13 cars; depending on the car.
