<\/a>\nThis is entering the east end of Oneida.\u00a0 The first switch directs to the private Spencer Logging Company’s trackage leading to the Spencer log pond.\u00a0 The next switch is the start of the passing siding.\u00a0 The third switch will be the spur for the sand and gravel pit.\u00a0 The mainline track and switches are completed, as is the crossing.\u00a0 The other trackage is in the process of being fitted, and then installed.<\/p>\n
I have a few more photos of Oneida<\/a> that I’ll be posting on the main website in the next day or so.\u00a0 If interested, you can find the\u00a0track plan<\/a> here.<\/p>\n The last code 83 switches have been installed here in Oneida.\u00a0 All remaining switches here, and in the yards at Monterey and Willis, will be code 70.\u00a0 These are (as I’ve mentioned before) not<\/em> “DCC friendly”, therefore will require modifications<\/a>.\u00a0 Unfortunately this will slow my progress down somewhat.\u00a0 However, I’m thrilled that the mainline only has to finish curving around this peninsula, run back down to the far end, and then cross the room entrance into Monterey where it will be complete!<\/p>\n -Jack<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I thought I’d post a brief update of the progress at Oneida.\u00a0 Since my last post, I’ve completed all the roadbed within the area, and I’ve completed the mainline through town.\u00a0 The roadbed took a bit longer than I thought … Continue reading <\/a>
\nHere we are at the west end of town, looking back toward the east.\u00a0 Down at the alcove, you can see the Louisiana Central mainline (the upper track) curving from Whitcomb (at the right just out of the picture) to Oneida at left.\u00a0 The lower track is the Spencer Lumber Company’s mainline coming from the woods (at right), and into Oneida.\u00a0 Note that the Spencer has trackage rights down there where the (future) bridge is crossing the (future) river.\u00a0 In the foreground, the first switch is to the passing siding.\u00a0 The next switch (on the passing siding) will be the spur to the loading area of the Spencer mill.\u00a0 The depressed area (where all the clutter is resting) is the mill pond.<\/p>\n
