JLS Railroad Initial Helix Construction

The following are pictures of the construction process in the very early stages. Unfortunately, I have no pictures of the actual construction of the 3 loop helix, the archive starts with the work on the table.

Here is a shot of the basement just before the table was painted, notice the much darker brown used. Also notice the very small control stand on the left side of the table, that was tripled in size to accommodate the controls needed for the helix.

A shot of the table just after painting. I now think back on the moment I took this picture and wonder just how the hell we accomplished what we did, I also remember I had no idea I was getting myself into.

Picture of the tunnel very early on.
