St. Louis Staging

Today we got some of the staging track put into place, once the glue has completely set over night we can make the cuts for the lift out section.  The outside staging track is actually a loop to easily turn around trains and hold a large unit train that will run a thru on the layout going from east staging to west without any scheduled stops.  all other staging tracks will hold around 14 - 50' cars and 2 locomotives.  Now we just have to wait to get the rest of the cork roadbed down and then continue on with the track work.
