We held a rusty screw ceremony at the Ridge Live Steamers track this past Saturday. (We couldn't find any gold spikes.) This completes phase II, giving use a main line run of around 4100 feet. The new extension adds a 70 foot long tunnel, 200 foot long trestle, 40 foot skewed bridge and 2 more passing sidings. Most of the track is on a 1% to 1.5% grade except for the passing sidings that are level and the cutoff track that has 200 feet of 3%.
There are picture up on the web page.
