GRIDLEY

Most of the towns and other areas on the Lake Town & Shire are named after places in The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings. But Gridley is named for our good friend Krista Gridley who helped us expand the layout in 2004. Gridley Station has a water tower, a passenger station, and a warehouse.

Gridley is double-tracked with a team siding which also serves it's main industry, J. Gilly Meat Co.

Trains leaving Gridley headed toward Mirkwood Forest and Rivendell pass over the Forest River bridge.
