Re: The "new" K&L
Northend Richland is a crossover that is really 3 locations. "Northend Richland" and "Diamondale" beginning of double track into Cedar St Yard as well as "Vermontville" with the Gates spur. The spur makes the area cramped for handthrows. http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o176/999trainman/the%20K%20...
