Model Railroading > Good at custom trackwork? Here's a project.Date: 07/19/16 04:53 Good at custom trackwork? Here's a project. Author: TAW Search Google: most complicated crossing in america, then see pages 435-439.
Spent many days here watching trains. I thought back then that this could be an entire model railroad with nothing else but staging out of sight in all four directions.

That would be a real challenge to create, much less wire.

That search will give the first entry:Railway Engineering and Maintenancehttps://books.google.com/books?id=iXgfAQAAMAAJ The real page link is, oh looks like maybe a hundred characters or so. I tried to tinyurl it, but was informed that was a violation of the terms of service. The ad section in the front has page numbers 2-8. The rest is numbered continuously from previous issues. The first page after the ads is 431. The subject article starts four pages later. TAW Date: 07/19/16 09:07 Re: Good at custom trackwork? Here's a project.

The northernmost C&A track (connecting the C&A to Clark Street) and the westernmost C&WI track were goine by the early 60s, when I started going there. The rest was just as in the drawings in the article (except the tower was moved from overhead to the north side of the plant, by the bridge after, if I remember correctly, being torn down by a derailment). http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?11,2052924,2052924#2052924 Now, the C&WI is gone altogether, as is the Santa Fe. The CTA Orange line is elevated over the PRR above the Santa Fe alignment. TAW Date: 07/19/16 12:55 Re: Good at custom trackwork? Here's a project.
