Reopening The Main Line Through West Zenith

With the major project of rewiring the Zenith Sub finsihed, I'm cleaning thing up in order to reopen the main line for full operation. Below is a test run on Main 1 past City Coal and the Zenith Knitting Mills. The switch at left is CP Conn.

I need to pay a lot of attention to CP Weat Zenith, which marks the end of the Zenith Sub. A lot of the ballasting was done with Woodland Scenics 20 or more years ago and needs a lot of touching up. The Clinchfield ballast car is a reminder of all the ballast work I have to do. The signal gantry is crooked and needs to have that fixed and a broken wire repaired.

The two shots below show how the old ballast has had to have shims added over the years and needs to be touched up.

CP West Zenith never got a switch machine or a relay shed. While it has a propane tank, it also needs a switch heater.

Here is WP 709 with a WP track cleaning car.
