Track Layout History

The master drawing of the Eagle Point Railroad is maintained on a dry erase board so that it can easily be updated with construction progress. In the short history thus far, there have been several adaptations to the Master Concept Plan, which changes as the railroad grows. Progress depends on the availability of people wanting to work on specific projects. There may be several projects underway at any given time.
