This evening I worked on construction of the lift out section for Bureau Junction. The light weight section simple lifts up and away. It is constructed of 1x2s and 1/4" birch plywood. I need to add some additional bracing and come up with some bolts that will be run through the bracing to secure it to the existing layout sections. I should have it wrapped up tomorrow.
It doesn't feel like a lot of progress was made tonight, but I do have family in town. Tomorrow, I can ramp up for some serious work.

The wye track coming in from the left. The track on the right is the Peoria mainline branching off the Chicago-Silvis mainline.
At West Bureau Junction looking east. Left track is the Peoria Storage, Main 2, Main 2 and further up is the wye track down to the Peoria Main.
