Schnitzel Terminal Railroad New in 2026!An HO Scale Railroad by Ralph Hauser

The Schnitzel Terminal railroad is based on fictional town of Schnitzel. First settled by Norwegian immigrants and named Lutefisk. But the Norwegians couldn't take the searing heat of Wisconsin winters. So, they all moved up der in North Dakota donch ya know. Where it was a bit cooler. Only two stayed Ole and Sven, who founded the schnitzel lutefisk plant in town. Soon the area was settled by German immigrants and the name was changed to Schnitzel. The town is in a location that serves several railroads at its Barge Loading Faciality. CGW, M&StL, Milwaukee Rd, CBQ and on occasion GBW. Being that the town is located between Bluffs and River it has a lot concentrated in a small area. Switching this railroad will take time and some thought!
