raig Bisgeier lives in New Jersey and has been interested in model trains since childhood when his parents gave him a hand-me-down Lionel set. As a pre-teen he had an HO scale 4x8 loop layout with a styrofoam mountain. He drifted away in his teens and twenties but got the bug again in the early 90’s (1990’s!) when a friend brought him to a train club. He’s been model railroading ever since. The 1892 Housatonic Railroad was born in 2003 and is about 70% complete. Craig has a loyal crew of talented friends who have helped to build it and run it. Without them it would not have possible. The credit is a much theirs as it is his own. He maintains a web site where he posts about construction and op sessions on his layout: http://www.housatonicrr.com

Craig as a young man in 1892.
Craig speaks with great enthusiasm regarding the construction of Wilson Point on his 1892 Housatonic layout. We also include some video of trains moving on the gargantuan pier at the south end of the line.
