Los Pinos & Alamosa - Track Planning

The temporary tracks were pull out in June/July, the old module tables removed.

First, re-plan the Los Pinos yard, combining proposed plan with experience from temporary tracks.

The yard will have a ‘by pass’ through track on the front side, then the Main and Passing track, and

4 yard spurs against wall. There will be a WYE on one end and engine house area. Below all this,

will be the lower, hidden storage tracks of Alamosa.  Four BIG balloon loops for parking trains.
