Last week, I posted photos of a concrete T beam bridge that I constructed in the town of Altoona. Yesterday, I finally finished the section of Altoona I have been working on since early in the pandemic, and wanted to share some pictures of it. I have previously posted some construction photos of it, but because it is built behind the staging yard and yard throat, I had to clear all the trains out of the yard to build the structures. They’ve been sitting out on the mainline for weeks.
So I figured it was time to shoot some pictures WITH trains! I mean, after all, this is the O Gauge RAILROADING Forum, right? So here ‘ya go…
The last three pictures are new ones of the bridge from different angles, and also finally with trains. If you look closely at the last two pictures, you will see I installed the suspended traffic lights at the intersection at the far end of the bridge. They hadn’t yet arrived from Artistta when I took the pictures I posted last week
With this section getting finished, it’s time to move on to the last portion of Altoona, and I may take a little break to go rake fall leaves, so who knows what I’ll post next week! Enjoy!
