The great East Side Electric Railway System
Text Box: The DAYLINES Text Box: Welcome to the Daylines, my HO scale tribute to the East St. Louis & Suburban Railway and the St. Louis & Belleville Electric Railway. The layout depicts the system as it might have been, while still attempting to be as accurate as reasonably possible. Although I am modeling a piece of history, I envision it as a thriving enterprise. Therefore, I model the system as it might have adapted to survive a little longer. Given the recent development of MetroLink in the bi-state area, however, perhaps a little foresight during the Great Depression would have saved the governments a bit of our money. Regardless, I hope you enjoy the layout and pictures. And should you have any information on the region or the railroads depicted, please contact me at my email address on the “Personal” page.
