Good things come in narrow packages

Gus...let me tell you about my Yankee fandom. Growing up in N.E. New Jersey, you were either a Met fan or a Yankees fan.

If I had grown up in that era, I might have become a Yankee fan. I grew up, however, on the south shore of Long Island, and was a Brooklyn Dodger (Bums) fan (now a Cubs fan), and I like any team that beats the yankees.....nothing personal. :|

Your coal house is coming along really nicely!
I vaguely remember seeing almost no ties between rails in an overhead dump facility similar to this. track gauge was maintained by using threaded tiebars through the rails, with washers and nuts on the outsides of the rails.
