By bending the Kingston yard a bit I created a triangular area that avoided the pipes and still matched the prototype track diagrams Greg supplied. Download PDF


Bill Reithmeyer's Pennsylvania RR
This is based on the "back side" of the hill approached on the east side by the Horseshoe curve from Altoona and through the famous Gallitzin tunnels, which serve as the eastern entrance to staging. We had to incorporate two swing bridges to maintain access to both room entrances, and Bill asked for a trolley line, not too much of a stretch for Johnstown.
