More very nice Cotton Belt work from South Africa! I'm enjoying following your progress.
Note: I lived in Tyler, TX many years ago and watched a lot of Cotton Belt action through Tyler and at the Tyler yard. I live in Lufkin, TX now. There was an 80-mile long SSW line that went from Lufkin to Tyler but was abandoned many years ago. The old ROW is now a hiking/biking path. One can still find some old concrete foundations and footings for the buildings and water tanks. There are also a number of old abandoned sawmill sites all along the line.
Thanks for sharing your ideas and progress.
