Next up is a pic of the trackage leading to the brick plant and the new mine. I thought the trackage arrangement turned out good and although it may look rough, it was entirely on purpose. I'm hoping to do my best at representing what the real version of this line was all about in it's heyday. Coal, coal and more coal with a little clay and lumber mixed in. From all the pictures I've seen, this line was almost entirely cinder ballast with hardly a hint of limestone. I have a bucket full of cinders from the real line ready to go.
