Welcome to my Ashley, Drew & Northern railfan page! Last updated 9/3/00. Why do a page for the AD&N? Well, I've liked it ever since I learned about it years ago as a kid. That might seem weird, since I grew up in Chicago, now live in L.A., and have never seen the railroad in person. But! Since there didn't seem to be much info about it on the Internet, and I'm always up for a new web design project, I thought... Why not! If you have any info, or high quality pictures that you would like to see put on the site, please e-mail me at: dave@ejearchive.com Any good content is welcome.

Here's a list of articles that have been written involving the AD&N and other related subject matter.

• Model Railroader Magazine-February 1981 A railroad you can model: The Ashley, Drew & Northern.
• Model Railroader Magazine-March 1981 Painting AD&N equipment and building an AD&N wood chip hopper.
• Model Railroader Magazine-October and November issues 1998 Paper: An industry you can model. Doesn't include the AD&N, but lots of good paper industry info that could help you to understand the AD&N.
• Diesel Era-January/February 1991 A nice article on the AD&N.
• Diesel Era-January/February 1997 An article on the Georgia Pacific short lines.
• Railroad Model Craftsman-June 1999 Improving Decorated Box Cars, including one of E&C's Modern 50' AD&N green & white box cars. The same issue includes a good article on modern logging, and paper industry railroading.

I hope you enjoy the site. I'll be trying to add new stuff in the future, like a roster for AD&N freight cars, and a list of AD&N models that have been available. Plus, other stuff, like more information on how the railroad operated in it's modern era. So keep coming back!

Thanks for visiting...
