What a day... Our well pump burned up this morning and I spent most of the day replacing it. I am not sure why I had energy left to work on the railroad but here I am.
River Road had a few different industries over the years but the track that ran up Landey Lane seemed a constant. Landey Lane started at the intersection with River Road and climbed uphill ending at the last industrial building. The siding was about 900 feet in length, and served Briggs Filtration according to a 1946 Sanborn Map. I was able to model about 280 scale feet of siding that rises above the main line approx 5/8".
In this first picture you can see the location of River Road and the intersection with Landey Lane. The street and track climbs uphill and levels out at the warehouse doors.
This pictures is from the warehouse looking back toward River Road. In the background, on the south side of River Road you can see the beginnings of a siding for Washington Petroleum Products. The other turnout near the rail cutter will branch off into 2 spurs. One will serve a Hot Shops Restaurant Supplies and feature a traveling crane. the other will serve a few small buildings and a contractors yard.
Next up is paint that pink landscape!!!
