I’ve been contemplating this for a few years and since the purchase of a K-27, it needed to get done. When the ROW in this location was first built I wanted to stay between the rose bushes and the Magnolia. Well, the rose bushes are gone and the magnolia has been encroaching on the track for the last 4 years.
Also during the winter right after it was installed, the track had broken in half on the curve, just in front of the loco in the above pic, so that needed to be remedied. The track came up this morning and the realignment work commenced.
A new trench was dug and the old spline reused.
Much better…
