Proposed Portland yard Changes

Kent (OWNRy) Williams — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 08:00:00 +0000

Couple possibilities here. 1) Crossover AD1-Main then Crossover Main to Depot. 2) Crossing AD1 over Main to Depot. Variations is to move AD1/AD2 Switch east and put AD1 to Depot switch west of this in between. this gives more room on Depot track. other variation is to add switch on Depot track with spur. What is not seen here is spur on other end of depot siding.
