Ridge Live Steamers Winter 2013-2014 Happenings

[FLtenwheeler]

Hi All

Well it has started already. The snow birds are showing up for the winter season.

We are getting ready for the first of 3 card order sessions on the 7th of December.

Christmas night run and pot luck. Saturday, December 14, 2013.

Work is progressing on the logging railroad in the Southeast corner. If anyone is wondering it is somewhere around an 8-percent grade with #6 switches and 45-foot radius curves. Bring on the geared locomotives.

The other major project is the is the realignment of the east end of Toll-bucket siding with the eventual expansion into the Northeast corner.

Any photos of the logging line?

[FLtenwheeler]

Not much to show, but it is the start. The #6 switch in the picture will be replaced by a #4-wye for a better fit in this location.

Is there a track plan published anywhere showing the logging line?

[FLtenwheeler]

Here's a PDF with a white line overlay of a picture.

Is the new line going to be run up and back down?

Hi John

You will come off the mainline and head down the grade and come to a switch for the north or south side. They will come back together on the far end with a switch-back. I am hoping to put some stub tracks in as well.
