Date: 09/01/14 17:59 Re: SF curve Author: daylightdon You've got to stop these posts-it's so depressing to see all this rail business gone.
I know all about the efficiencies of stack trains and the flexibility of trucks-but I want to go back to a world of colorful, graffiti-free box cars and stop dodging those dang 53' trailers on the beat up freeways we have here in the Golden State.. I guess I'll shut up now and go back to running my Lionels...

This track was never connected, it is just a lead to get cars in and out of the shop to a ramp on and off the truck.
