Penn Lake's Bourbon River Sub crosses numerous water courses, on a diverse collection of bridges. Follow along as I chronicle the construction of them.

I am researching  prototype example of a yard located at the junction between the mainline and branchline. Most example I have seen, have the yard along the mainline and the branchline connection either before or after the yard.  

I'm modeling CN in the late transition to late 70s, but the track arrangement could come from anywhere.

It has been a long time since my last update.  Part of that is due to an addition to our family, we had our first child at the beginning of July, she takes up most of our time, but it is wonderful.  I've been working where I can on the layout, mainly getting the subroadbed, roadbed and mainline track installed as well as getting some rough cut fascia put up.  I now have a fully functional mainline loop for a continuous run, just need to cut the circuit breakers in when I get there.

I am looking for ideas that I could use for a small 2'x5' switching layout. I have that much space in my room and am trying to plan as much as possible to pitch the idea to my parents.
