The Bacardi and Northern Railroad is a fictitious revival of what is currently known as the CSX Northern Industrial Track between North Bergen, New Jersey and Orangeburg, New York. This was originally the Erie's Northern Branch to Nyack, NY.
Based in the late 90s, the line is a Conrail spinoff and an almost exact duplicate of each of the industries that existed along the line at the time. This approach provides extensive switching operations that prove both challenging and fun. Modeler's license adds to the mix with a variety of run through freights, local passenger service and additional industries. The line is operated with a mix of first and second generation Alco power and standard freight equipment. Nearly all prototypical structures and scenery are in place, fitting the layout to northern New Jersey where the actual line exists. The signal system is fully operational.
