As you can see here, the switches between the MainLine
and the Trolley Line have just been cut in. Wiring has not occurred
as of yet. An interchange was desperately needed between the lines
in order to allow the Trolley and Railbus to have access to the
rest of the layout. In the past, it was very infrequent that the
Trolley or Railbus ventured off the Trolley Line since the only
method of interchange between the 2 lines was "the hand of
God" (we had to lift them off the track and place them on
the Main). I don't have to tell you that it was a horror, especially
for a prototypical railroad. Now, with the interchange, we can
prototypically move the Trolley and Raibus to other lines, as
well as bring 4 to 5 cars to the Trolley line and sit them on
the siding near Waldou for loading and unloading, hence, giving
us yet another usable siding for revenue service.
