Progress: Have been working on the transitions from the old shelves to the new shelves. Cutting the cork back and leaving some exposed rail for connection to the new track. In some areas I am having to make considerable mods to accomodate the new shelves.
Reworking a spur at GERN -
Changing the trackwork at Industrial Area A - the "main" curves to meet the shelf along the south wall, and lengthening one spur and rerouting another (which didn't get in the pic).
Roadbed coming out of the Santa Fe interchange yard. I think I am going to make this a highway underpass similar to what exists in the Houston area at various locations. For now, I will lay a board across and put track on that until I decide exactly what kind of bridge is going here.
Here is the southern Pacific Interchange yard, cork is done.
This yard will be used as storage for shortline rollingstock and GERN cars. I'm making it double-ended although a shortline probably wouldn't go to that expense. If anyone has thoughts, I'd love to hear them. Anyway, having to rework the track in this area.
