Since the South Tiburon and Raccoon Straits RR will be using a fair bit of elevated railway, I thought I’d post it here. This will start out as a basic dogbone, with both turnaround loops extending over sloped grade, and will need elevation to attain a reasonable grade for the trains. Since this is a sightseeing and logging line, I can accept a little more steepness, but not a lot, of course. Stage 1 will be some experimenting.
In that vein, the first step is the Western loop: a simple loop made of redwood fence boards that will be supported by… something…
