Mike, the 'doors' are always open.
==========================
PM the logging railroad.
The Swan river logging railroad interfaces with the GN.
There is a 4 track yard at the interchange.
A small town is served with several industries located at the interchange.
Logs are brought up out of the valley via two 'switch backs'.
There are residential buildings and a LCL loading dock plus a 2 track yard plus a 'run around' siding.
The logging railroad can keep two operators busy: one bringing logs out of the valley and the other doing switching at the logging town.

Final ascent to the interface yard.
Reminds me when I rode the 'Silverton and Durango'.
Can see that there is about a 10 degree climb.

I need to build my keystone logging mill to replace the present building!
John Allen's time saver was incorporated into the logging yard.
