Operationally, this would give you interchange traffic with the Claremont & Concord, and all the BM and CP traffic you could ask for.<br /><br />Geof Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14116332697708271493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7235592861494546755.post-23944617234623586902015-07-10T18:39:19.487-04:002015-07-10T18:39:19.487-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7235592861494546755.post-76493036943950133412015-07-10T18:03:14.781-04:002015-07-10T18:03:14.781-04:00Hi Tore,

Yes, the possibility of (yet another) big rebuild is "daunting" - what I would do, if this comes to pass, is to build the "new yard" as a series of sections (Free Mo like modules?) before removing the current yard. Only when the "new" yard is built would the old one be removed and the new sections installed in its place.

Thanks for sharing and thanks for the blog as a whole. (I’m a long-time lurker - first time commenter.) FWIW, it seems to me that you’ve given the “correct” way a real try and clearly aren’t happy with it and don’t seem to be maximizing all the cool terminal functions that you could get out of the WRJ area. I can see why you’re tempted to give this design or some variation thereof a try...
