The bridge is here! 
The bridge is here! Yes, the good news is that the bridge has finally made its journey to the basement and is now awaiting installation. 
The bad news is that we need to fix some track / subroadbed sins of the past before we can install it.
As I mentioned earlier this week, I thought we needed to adjust some of the trackwork leading up to the bridge. I expected the adjustments to be minor. It turned out (naturally!) to be more complicated. In essence, I will be rebuilding about half of the western portion of the layout, including subroadbed, a few risers, a large curve, and repositioning Switch No. 1.
The affected area is shown below.
I am not discouraged by this. In fact, correcting these long dormant problems will make the layout much more robust and permit running trains at speed.
