Shepherd depot siding

Unread post by Bluewaterfan »

Does anyone know if the track to the depot siding is still connected to the main?
One can make a mistake and own up to it, but still feel guilty.

I don't think it is, Bluewaterfan. I recall reading how AARRT&HA installed a temperary switch to place the engine and cabooses on the spur. I believe the took it our when they were done. I may be wrong :?

Switch is no longer in place. IIRC, in 91 when they got the engine (think it's 91) there was track work in the area. The switch was to be removed. I think they made a few calls and work was halted in the area of the switch until the engine could arrive.
I could be totally off but i'll try to find the article. I got it somewhere.
