Rainbows in the Lehigh Valley Gorge

[TMo]

Just like a real railroad when the ties and rails are pulled up, there's some sorrow associated with tearing out what you thought was a finished product, but it's the first stage in the rebuild.  I'll be removing all of the ballast and thinking about the best way to cant the rails.  My initial thought is to place strips of polystyrene under the outside portions of the roadbed in the curves once the ballast is gone and then to resecure the roadbed prior to reinstalling the rails and then running trains (especially the new loco).
