New Spur Line

The spur line that is shown in these pictures will service the C.A. Scott Cattle Ltd. Ranch located

just to the east. You can follow the construction of this line over the next couple of weeks.

The switch has been installed

Rocks on either side of the roadbed is to prevent erosion from the heavy rains we experience. Top soil has been placed

between the rocks and will be allowed to settle. We are expecting heavy rains this week which should help. Once that

has taken place, ballast will be added.

This picture shows where the line will continue over the road. It will come back as far as the tree to the left center and

curve back around near the barn.

Here is an overhead shot of the area. A girder bridge will be installed where the track overhangs the rock. The spur

will then continue on the bottom side of the picture and curve to the left towards the barn

A down to trackside shot shows that some ballast has been placed near the switch

The following pictures were taken on April 29, 2007

Track has been installed and ballast spread. Some additional leveling will be done as well.

Shot taken from near the end of the spur whick is at middle left of picture.

This shows where the bridge will be installed. We hope to have it in by the end of the month (April). The road will

dip down and under the bridge.

This shows the end. We may extend it on around closer to the barn.
