Back in March 2007, I decided to mount my camera on ATSF #471's front running board and take her around the track for a lap. At the time, the track foremen were still relaying the southwestern section of the 4-3/4" gauge Outer Loop for the Sutchville Reconfiguration Project, so from Old Sherwood Station until the southeast crossover, I detoured onto the dual-gauge Inner Loop. Also notice that Steamplant Junction Yard wasn't even laid yet.

  • god i forgot how fucked up the rails used to be

  • @kylecascadden Really? I actually think a couple areas were better than they are now. The inner loop was actually quite a smooth ride when they first put the new track panels in back in Fall 2006, but when the squirrels and tree roots crept back, it makes a hell of a racket now, and there are a lot of bumps and high-spots. You think that's bad? Try riding a 1" on the eastern curve of the inner loop. There so many rumps and bumps from the squirrels and trees its not even funny...

  • oh i just meant the right of way was messed up, ur definitely right about the rails though. They are terrible. I can't say i've ridden on the 1' in a while though so next time maybe i'll take a ride with u just to see how messed up they are.
