Hi folks,
This fall I re-routed my reverse loop to enable 20ft dia curves. Unfortunately I had to over-curve the loop to avoid a large boulder in the way. I am unable to move the rock due to its enormous size. I want to remove about 6 inches off the top of the rock aproximately over aprx.12in dia. The top of the stone is just slightly above grade, but I would like to have room between the rock and track for ballast. I believe the stone to be granite, but with insufficient daylight I have not confirmed that. Sand stone would be a win, but I’m not holding my breath for it in the granite state!
Anyone have advice for breaking up rocks? Heavy equipment is is not an option here. Thanks
