@DoubleDAZ posted:Mark, I agree the spurs by the Bascule bridge are too busy, but they were just added to fill the space. And they were all put there before the yard tracks were extended that far. The bridge over a yard makes no sense, nor does it make sense if the water is on the same level, but the water could be a thin sheet of plexiglass glued to the bottom of the 1/2" decking. I really haven't paid attention to all that because of the grades. And, yes, the bridge is too short for the entry opening. Here's my vision for that area.
You have to be a politician to appreciate a bridge to nowhere...Yes this has been a neglected area that needs help. However the big picture needed to be developed. I have been trying to look at where industries could go and towns/buildings. Placing bridges and making some sense for operation, keeping grades and clearances is definitely a push/pull exercise that is frustrating. Paralysis from analysis is taking a firm hold on me ...
Dave, Mark, GRJ, and everyone else on this forum, Thank you for all your help so far. I am sure it has saved me from so many errors, they probably cannot be counted. Thanks
