The First Modules Arrive
Just before the end of the year, the Cedar River Valley reached an exciting milestone: the first module sections arrived on December 23rd, built by Dan Benjamin of the River Rail Operations group. Up to this point, most of the work had focused on the Zone 2 shelf and the early shaping of the layout’s identity, but seeing the first freestanding modules come through the door made the project feel suddenly larger, more tangible, and undeniably real. These sections marked the moment when the Cedar River Valley began expanding beyond the initial benchwork and into the modular footprint that will define Zones 1 and 3.
