In an open pit mine, excavators would be at the bottom of the pit, and would not be mining the track slopes, as this would undermine the track. http://s29.postimg.org/ryxc1h4fr/flusi737_20140530_0030.jpg

Drag line open pit mining is slightly different: https://www.google.com/search?q=dra...YDw&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=1305&bih=709&dpr=1.09

Well and then tell me why i saw EXACTLY this in a video about the bingham mine?

 

[AMTRAKwannabe]

The bingham mine had a landslide, are you sure they weren't digging the tracks out?

 

[flusi737]

Didnt knew the landslide was 1925...first pic is from one of the upper levels, so yes, they really dig below and above other tracks...everywhere. Tracks and catenary are both movable by the way...

Harper's Ferry? Looks nice!

 

[817TAYLOR]

For sure diggin' it man!

 

[cascaderailroad]

That station looks kinda Sketchup, high polly, and way to clean, fakish

 

[jacksonbarno]

Thanks guys! Still a bit left to do on it. It's a rework of Jrfolco's Cumberland to Harpers Ferry route.
Cascade, I take what I can get, and I haven't managed to find a better building than that for the Harpers Ferry station yet.

A stunning change in just a few years:
Penn Haven Junction, 1955:

The CNJ main crossed the LV main here, going from both sets of tracks being on opposite sides of the river to them both paralleling each other on the same side.

Here's the same view in 1976:

The CNJ main was abandoned around 1960 as part of a consolidation of duplicate lines between the CNJ and the LV. With the formation of Conrail, fewer freights were routed over this line, and in the 80's the former LV routing was single tracked in some sections.

Jackson where did you get the dark ballast version of that track?

Neither Hostthenpost nor postimage wants to display the image here. Probably some mod who blocked me from showing images
