WOOHOO! Good weather = time to build
Well, Gary, I hate to change the subject in the middle of this interesting discussion on marking magnets buried under the ties (an important consideration) ... but I said I would go out and get images of Pipes, and I did.

Pipes Crossing Canals Along the Sides of Bridges ...

The Other Side of that Bridge ...

The Opposite Side of the Other Side of that Bridge ...

... Crossing canals without the benefit of a bridge ...

... And Just Popping Up Out of the Ground to Show Off Their Fancy "Patriotic" Valves ...

So ... if you use a view block like one of these, you should not have too much trouble hiding the point of intersection between layout and backdrop! Plus, if you put a couple of those "up-out-of-the-ground-show-your-valves-dive-back-into-the-ground" situations, the pipes crossing canals (or bayous) will be a reinforced detail.

Edit: I've moved these images ... Had to re-link them, but it was Fun (NOT!)
