This is a small part of a lap around our layout. We start at Toll Bucket, descend down and through the tunnel, climb up to Summit, and then go down through Can Yard. This section covers about 1/5 of a lap around Ridge Live Steamers.
Been a fun and busy Friday at the Fall meet. Sometimes you just need a long train.
