Railway Track Plan
-
Plan has evolved since then, but you get the idea...
Point-to-loop operation. Right-hand running. The run is about 3,000 feet / 900 meters, starting at Miramontes Yard, running through Londonderry, and ending at Clements Junction.
Stations: Miramontes Yard · Stoddard Farm · Jacks Wye · Banta · Rogers · Booth · Rocky Creek · McParlin · Clements Junction · Londonderry
Built out in four phases: Phase 1 to Banta, Phase 2 to Booth, Phase 3 to Clements Junction, Phase 4 completing the Londonderry loop.
Special thanks to Arron Gontheir at the Mill Brook Railroad for his great youtube videos. Be sure to give a thumbs up to help his channel grow...
Note that some of the earlier videos were done before we logged off the back of our property....

rolling across the first bridge on the line just out of the main yard, about 2% grade at this point....

the car shed...yup, its a tent, seems to be holding up quite well, about 5 years in...also where I build track panels, the stack in the photo is the start of the expansion planned for 2026...
