A quick update on the Green River Bridge construction. Below are some photos of the project.
|
The area of the Green River was originally built with the standard 2" foam base and cork roadbed. I planned to come back and remove the material when I was ready to construct the bridge.

I used a trustworthy fine-toothed saw to make the precision cuts, after laying out the exact location of the steel girder bridge. I was careful to allow for adequate clearance for rolling stock negotiating the turnout to the left. |
|
| With the sawcuts complete, the spikes can be pulled and the track section removed. |

| Foam cut and gently removed with a wide blade putty knife. |

| First train across the new bridge! |
Next will be the scenery including river banks.
