.Slumber Valley and Pacific is a spin off from the DRGW back in the 20's. It was not very profitable for the DRGW and they wanted to abandon it, but the people in the area needed it. They put together their money and purchased the small railroad from the DRGW. Problem was they had no locos or rolling stock. An easterner named Randy came to town and he had connections with eastern railroads. He acquired engines from the various eastern railroads along with some rolling stock. Slumber Valley serves 5 towns. They are Jakes Corners, Kaceys Curve, Cindys Landing, Scoobyville, and Barneys Crossing. They have a small interchange with the DRGW at Alpine Station and also serve the logging operation in Hancock. Some of the industries are: cattle, lumber, dairy products, and general merchandise. There is a coal mine on a branch line, supplying the valley and outside world with coal. There is also an iron ore mine, shipping iron ore out to the rest of the country. The logging company outside of the town of Hancock supplies the lumber mill in Jakes Corners with rough hewn logs. Although the logging operation is outside of the Slumber Valley and Pacific R.R. territory, it still has trackage rights to serve this industry. In the morning an engine that is stationed at Alpine Siding,(the name of the interchange with the DRGW) goes out to the interchange tracks to see what was left there from the DRGW. Any paperwork is left in the agent's office for the crew. They take the cars to Jakes Corners to be picked up by the daily shuttle. The shuttle runs off of a switch list that tells the crew what to leave off and what to pick up. It usually takes an 8 hour shift to complete the run. At the end of the day the shuttle brings the cars it has picked up back to the interchange tracks to be picked up by the night DRGW local. Passenger service is sparse but passengers are welcomed to ride in the caboose or combine for a modest fee. Once a month there is a special for railfans. The owners are looking into running a tourist ride but need more qualified crews to run them. Of course Slumber Valley is fictional- But it could have happened!
