The Crestline (short for Fredalba & Crestline: both real places) is my freelanced switching railroad located somewhere in southern California. The Sarcophagus & Macabre is it's wholly-owned logging subsidiary, and a homage to John Allen's Gorre & Daphetid: the model railroad that addicted me to the hobby in the first place.
