Had a bit of a challenge. The digger was brought into the layout from digging a road under the track. Before putting down the granite the underpass was deep enough to get through. Once the granite was put down it could no longer get out of the layout. So a road had to be built to get the thing out of the layout. Hence this work.
After the work building the parking lot and road to the church it was time to pull out. It was a tricky challenge.
Now another challenge, how to get back into the other half of the layout, the under pass on this side is not deep enough either for this big rig.
This being a degree of urgency, the road was not built for normal traffic, in fact the truck could not make the grade so only the digger could go over the challenge right now and that was challenging enough.
The rest of the vehicles had to go to the under pass and come in that way.
Since the road cuts right through the Farrar's property and very near their house, they wasted no time blocking the road so it does not turn into a thoroughfare.
Here is the whole reason for needing equipment this big in the rail yard in the first place. To build a road and a parking area near the depot.
Got more work done on my hill over the last several days. Still more to do.
