I fished out W.E. Warden's "West Virginia Logging Railroads" book which has several photos of Elk River Coal and Lumber geared locos splashing through several fords on the Lilly Fork. ERC&L had an aversion to bridges as well as the usual logging roads' avoidance of ballast or tie-plates. I thought l might use the clear plastic pourable "stream" material, and cover the track to just below the rail tops, to model a ford a train could pass through, keeping a slot for flanges inside the outside rails
