The Frisco High Line

[dricketts]

I noticed that the steel bridge doesnt have anysupport other than the flimsy looking wooden supports for the trestle. Just an observation.

Yes I need to add something there. I just haven't been able to find the right support that suits me. There are 4 bridges total with the same design.

Peeking through the loading shoot to catch a glance of 517.

Looks like a nice route. Good use of trees and foilage.

It brings back some fond memories of my youth. When I was about 14-15 years old my family camped out at Pomme de Terre Lake and Stockton Lake. There was the most unusual drive-in theater I've ever seen...north of Pittsburg, along the road to Pomme de Terre State Park. My sister, who could drive, and my cousin and I went there one summer. The drive-in had individual screens for the cars. The screens were about 4 by 8 feet in area. They were arranged in a circle around the concession stand and projection building. The projector had a mirror arrangement that split the projected light up into individual beams that hit the screens in the back and the picture was displayed on the front.

When I discovered what movie was being shown there one weekend, I told my sister and cousin,

"Hey! We have to go see this!"

"Ok", they said, "What is it?"

"Well", I said, "It stars Sean Connery."

They said, "Who's Sean Connery?"

"It's a movie about James Bond."

They said, "Who's James Bond?"

....It was "Dr. No".

Cheers,
Fred

Off-topic: Thanks, Kon, for that link! I found two freeware "railroad roman" fonts there, and there are others that might be useful eventually.

On-topic: Beautiful route, dricketts! Keep up the great work!

Regards,

Retro.

I like how you've recreated the scene, if you need anything specific in the way of buildings, let me know.
