The Mogollon Railroad

[nachoman]

The tracks have reached a temporary end-of the line. That is, until I pick up some more code 55 rail. The 4% grade is pretty steep, and this short train is about maximum tonnage for 2-8-0 #4. I could have lowered the grade on part of the hill, but inevitably some of it would have to be 4%, so I decided to make the whole hill at 4%.

Do I see the Little Giant in the background of the second picture? I see narrow gauge and a diesel wearing SP paint...

Haha. Nope. That's an old athearn GP-38 generally reserved for work duties, testing track, displays, or when my nephews want something to run during the holidays. :mrgreen:
