The progress continues.....
|
|
Building retaining walls
and
adding grades for the crossover.
|
|
Moving the decomposed granite ground cover
making the site ready for trackwork.
|
|
The new railroad has dual mainlines with each of the
loops about 325 feet long in a folded Figure 8 design. The highest grade separation is 12 inches with maximum grades at 1.5% and 10 foot minimum diameter curves which makes it very easy for all locomotives and consists.
The left image has been taken from the "Train Viewing
Area". A favorite place to view and run trains. |
|
Trestles and bridges have been added. The trestles
were purchased for the new layout however, the bridges were brought from the old layout and put in specific places on the loops. |
|
A Garden Metal Model girder bridge was received just
before the RR was moved. It was saved for a very special place on the layout. The lettering on the bridge has been done in the PCSRR Custom Decal shop. |
