I need to understand the math to install an Atlas 3.5 Wye to connect two parallel tracks to converge via the wye into one track.

The center-lines of the parallel tracks will be ~ 3 to 4 inches apart, depending on what radius and length of track I need to make this work. I will be running passenger cars, so it is critical that I have good length and radii for this...

Hi All

While searching for a form for a client, I ran across this.  Too bad us little guys can't use it.  Apparently the big boys can get a credit (a $ for $ reduction in actual tax owed) on track maintenance equal to the lesser  of 50% of actual maintenance expenditures or $3500/mile of track operated.  I have tried to enclose an image of the form, but have not had any success.  For anyone interested - go to:
