San Diego & Arizona Eastern (San Diego Model RR Club)(click here)
The San Diego
& Arizona Eastern is the HO scale (1/87th actual size) layout of the San
Diego Model Railroad Club. HO is the most popular scale in model railroading
. The SD&AE models the prototype railroad of the same name connecting San
Diego with El Cajon and El Centro. The San Diego - San Ysidro and San Diego
- El Cajon portions are now part of the San Diego Trolley. This layout features
an impressive 10 ft. high model of the Carriso Gorge (north of Jacumba in
eastern San Diego County) and the Goat Canyon trestle. The actual trestle
was the largest timber railroad trestle in the world at the time of its
construction in 1932.
Because of the rough terrain, the SD&AE has been coined
"The Impossible Railroad". The San Diego Model Railroad club meets every Friday evening.
