Advancing Trackwork
The original 1990s based Lackawanna Junction
The first set of changes after backdating to the 1970s. Additions show in green - double crossover, a new crossover to the Plaster Falls Branch and the North Falls Industrial Track.
Track evolution 2. Additions in cyan - new crossover at the top, and Delaware & Hudson staging.
Current layout of Falls Junction. Addition is magenta - lead for R Nicholas Steel. Removal in red - no longer used crossover to Plaster Falls Branch.
