Well, as we approach the bridge we have to go through a junction for Shamokin and the Glen Burne Colliery. I had two custom made turnouts done that match the curvature of the approach track for the bridge. So here we see the installation process underway.
I have laid the ties, sanded them and then placed the turnouts. They are held in place by printed circuit board ties so it has been a relatively painless process. The only problem is that the pc ties are only half thickness so I will have to put some wood beneath them to fill the open space.
Here is the view looking towards the bridge. The turnout to the left leads to what will become the yard at Shamokin.
The track curves nicely onto the approach to the bridge.
Here we look towards the other side which will take a lot of effort!
