Hi everybody,
I thought it would be interessting to start a thread in track planningsign1.
The idea is to post the "rail history" of my home town and may be it is inspiring for you. Now to the facts:
- 1 electrified 2-track main line (opened in 1854)
- 1 highspeed 2-track main line (opened in 1990),
- 1 branchline single track, mainly lumber and track ballast traffic
- 1 branchline single track, steep grades on this branch made helper service necessary, it also served as a cut off for southbound traffic on the main line (abandoned),
- 1 2 1/2 foot (750mm) narrow gauge line (abandoned),
- 2 engine terminals (abandoned),
- 1 loco repair facillity (abandoned).
It's all situated in Germany, but as mentioned before, you might get a little inspiration from it. If you're interested I'll post pictures from then and now, trackplans and overviews.
It's your decision!
Tobias
