You can sit outdoors in the French Quarter, enjoy-ing a beignet looking due east across the Mississippi at the westbank of the river, which at that point is flowing north, ratherthan south, and begin to understand the city’s source of charmand creativity.Well, my freelanced O Scale Great Western Railroad islocated up river about a thousand miles. Operators on the walk-around layout look north, with west to the left and east to theright. Noted track planner John Armstrong refers to such layoutsas “sincere”. I guess, for sake of a longer mainline run, I got a lit-tle insincere. At the town of Lancaster, Wisconsin, you are look-ing south, which forces your imagination into play.The Great Western is essentially a single-track shortline basedNot requiring pusher service today, the caboose trails the Dubuque Turn asit leaves Lancaster and re-enters the “hidden valleys” region of the GWRR.on actual rail lines that, in reality, are now abandoned or havebecome bicycle trails in Wisconsin and Iowa. When an articlewas published inModel Railroader(July, 1997) describing theGWRR’s track plan changes, I made the observation about con-structing a parallel hidden track between Lancaster and Potosi,The lightly traveled access road to the fuel oil dealer is purposely blockedby setout cars to facilitate safe and expeditious switching. The E.P. Evansboxcar behind the engine carries batteries for train power.• O Scale Trains - Jan/Feb ’06There were two places where trains backed down the track formiles to arrive at branch-terminating stations. That knowledgeopened the door for some interesting operational enhancements.On the GWRR, it is apparent that a helper engine is neededto occasionally push Dubuque-bound trains through the “hid-den valleys” area under the Mississippi Dam and up the 2.9%Having made its local drops, the Lancaster engineer backs down the sidingto pick-up the Fennimore cars and is ready to depart town at 4:00 PM.With the caboose mid-train the local heads west on the Fennimorebranch.The Dubuque turn has split its train to pick up the setouts and leaveLancaster and Fennimore cars behind.In this view, now looking north, Fennimore cars are parked under the tunnel.In actuality they are right next to the GWRR’s mainline to Dubuque. Highbluffs characterize the region and sunlight has trouble reaching the tracks.There is a grade at this point so cars have to have brakes set (a metal rodbetween the rails is activated by an automobile throttle knob, cable andlinkage and rises between the track to catch the lead car’s axle).Local switching is done first by the Lancaster engine as cars aredropped at the fuel oil dealer.“...better to err on the side of too much track rather than too little”.My speculation, then, was one possible use for the new sidingis to imitate the prototype Chicago & North Western’s branch toFennimore. If I consider the hidden siding to be the branch andassume that Fennimore has no turning facilities, then the west-bound Dubuque Turn could leave its train at Lancaster and pushloads destined for Fennimore into the hidden track and thenreturn.The C&NW’s operational pattern was of particular interest.The train backs over the crossover and will back down the line to Lancasterwith the caboose in the lead and the pick-up cars trailing the engine.Jan/Feb ’06 - O Scale Trains • [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
