Double heading across the Homestake Gulch trestle on the Klondike Mines Railway.

In several instances we as a group seem to have split ourselves into two throttle factions - the ones who want to use (or at least tolerate) a touch screen device such as a smart phone, and the ones who insist on physical controls.  There seems to be little common ground, and I don't think it needs to be that way.  There has to be a way to satisfy both factions, and to have the best features of both styles.

Hello,

I have a tunnel that you can see the track work inside of. In fact, you can look into the tunnel from the side for almost its entire length. My question, is how is prototype main line track ballasted inside a tunnel? Is it done exactly like main line track outside a tunnel or do they do it differently due to the rock like floor?

I have looked for pictures and have not found any. Either they show the mail line disappearing into a dark tunnel (no real detail) or its a picture inside an abandoned or converted tunnel without any tracks.
