Progress on the Canadian Southern

[Wiredup]

Surely I can't be the first to comment here but it appears so. That's a lot of work you've put into that and it's great to finally see the plan start to take physical shape. If one of your main goals was to not have anything above a 2% grade, I would exhaust all other ideas before you give in to a 3%. I've found that even double stacks only require 2" of clearance. Lengthen a curve or raise one while you drop the other... something. Where is it on your plan that you've had to put in a 3% to make the clearances work?
Pictures... there are plenty of sites that you can upload pictures to and yours is the first I've heard of that limits you to 15 (15?) at a time. Try Photobucket or try uploading to our gallery right here! You can upload as many as you like as long as you keep the resolution and file sizes within the limits.

actually flickr limits to 100mb


if you look at the plan, the turnback on the top right of the layout.... theres where the grade comes into question as I've modified the loops so that I can chop off some benchwork so I can reach better.
