It was last call to do basic reworks while the detailing was going on. The main track with virtual no distance to the road was a weak design point. I did look carefully in Vernon to find a situation that might be an excuse. No chance, my road to track distance was not acceptable.
The track has been removed this morning. The next track (had to be newly layed too) became the main line and the first of the former stub tracks of the yard became the siding and run around of the yard. Two turnouts connecting old main line and siding had to be removed too. A new turnout has been added to connect the former stub track to the new main line to become a siding and run around. The price to pay is one yard track (down to 2 from 3) and a much shorter siding (down to 7 cars from 11). However, that rework was overdue.
The yellow bumper in the background of the upper photo is the former main line. I use it as an engine pocket connected to the entrance of the industry area.
That gives the required space to place traffic signs (no parking any time, a real favorite in Vernon
) at the road and traffic lights at the two intersections.
