Track Cleaning Extra At Tennessee Pass

My efforts to vacuum the layout, clean things up, align and level the roadbed, and clean the track have reached Tennesee Pass, the summit of the layout. Here is an Athearn U50 with my Revell track cleaning car and an A-Line slider:

The whole outfit is two Kato locos with the Athearn U50. They all have DCC and work very well together. The sight reminds me a little of pushing a snowplow in the age of steam:

The track here is at eye level. Here is the Tennessee Pass station, a Builders in Scale kit from 25 years ago:

The scenery needs rework. Next step will be to shim up a dip in the track at East Portal, which is the other end of the tunnel here:

  1. Hi John, It's nice to see another modeler enjoy the running of a track cleaning extra. I like your set up and know it will pay big dividends when completed. Is the Atlas FRA Gage Restraint Measurement Vehicle going to be joining the consist?
