Freelance 2011

[faraway]

The restructuring of the old south yard has been begun this morning.

I did decide not to blank the entire south yard and build it new from scratch but to restructure it in smaller incremental steps. That single steps could be completed in smaller time units and the overall operation is not on hold for the entire summer 2011.

First step is the dismantling of a double connection of the old main tracks. They are replaced by straight tracks forming an industry spur serving all the industries in the background and the main track (the SW1500 is sitting on it) of the new south yard in the foreground.

All kind of scenery work (incl. ballasting) is postponed until the trackwork of all steps is completed.







ps. Scuba diving vacation at the Red Sea in Egypt was without any trouble. Nothing, absolute nothing, of the political problems are visible at the airport or any tourist location.
