Progress continued on the subroadbed
along the NE blob with an emphasis on bringing it around the front edge of the
table section and back around the North wall to cross over the lower table and
join the middle table section (Level 2). In the pics below you'll note the
subroadbed working its way around the outer edge at a 1% grade, then increasing
to about 1.4% along the back wall. In pic 1, you can see that the
transition has been successful and there is sufficient clearance to pass over
the lower table risers and subroadbed.
Another task in our last session was to
complete the design of the Seattle staging yard and to begin laying the track for
that yard. The two pics that follow are essentially the same view, but
from a little different angle. Pardon the mess. Didn't have a lot of
time to tidy up and wanted to get this online. The tracks to the left of
the 4x4 are the lower staging yard tracks. The trackage to the right of
the 4x4 is a container yard, located just south of Boeing Field. The yard
lead passes just inside the risers for the inbound/outbound tracks in the
foreground. The turnout off the lead is a caboose house track.
In our next edition of the update, we
will continue work on the subroad installation along the North wall, this time
joining the second level. Track will start showing up along the west wall
in an attempt to catch up to the subroad crew! Til next time....
