7/20/14: We
started installing the joists on the benchwork at the opposite side
of the room from Monterey. That's the staging yard at right. |
7/20/14: Down at
the alcove the track will make a 180 degree turn, then head back out
to the second peninsula (left). Whitcomb is on the right side.
|
7/20/14: And
here's the view looking from inside the alcove back toward the main
room. That's Whitcomb on the left and the peninsula on the
right. |
9/8/15: The
Louisiana Central mainline is now advancing west from Maynard (at
the far right). That's the Spencer Camp 6 trackage at the
upper levels.

|
9/8/15: Panning a
bit to the left, the track has advanced to the center of Whitcomb
(at the far left). The Spencer trackage has descended from
Camp 6 via a double switchback.
|
9/8/15: Here's a
view from the other end. The broad area will have the main, a
pass and a spur. We're at roughly the mid-point of Whitcomb
there at the end.
|
9/8/15: This view
is from across the room. You can see the mainline curving out
of Maynard and proceeding westward to Whitcomb. |
9/8/15: And here
we've moved to the right. The large area in the foreground is
the peninsula where the Spencer sawmill in Oneida will be located.

11/25/15: A long
shot looking toward the alcove, with Spencer in the foreground and
Whitcomb off in the distance.
|
11/25/15: Zooming
in a bit, that's Whitcomb in the center, and the Spencer switchback
trackage at the right.
|
11/25/15: And
here's the view looking from the aisle at Whitcomb. The
mainline is nearest the aisle.
|
11/25/15: And the
view down at the far (western) end of town. The start of the
large turn-back curve is back in the alcove.
|

|
11/25/15: There
will be a plate girder bridge spanning across that opening.
That's the Spencer roadbed running beneath the future bridge.
|
11/25/15: Here's
a view from the other end showing the Spencer roadbed snaking around
from behind, then crossing below the Louisiana Central track.
|
11/25/15: This is
an overall view inside the alcove. Both the Louisiana Central
and the Spencer trackage will make a 180 degree turn in this area.
|
11/25/15: And
here is the view shot from atop a stool. This shows the track
routes a bit clearer. The two tracks join at left for a short
distance to cross over a bridge.

|
5/18/16: The
passing siding and industrial spur track is in, switch motors are
installed and everything is wired up. This is the view looking
west. |
5/18/16: This is
an overall view from inside the alcove. The foundation work in
the foreground is a builder's supply dealer. The switch just
beyond will serve the property. |
5/18/16: Pictured
above is the first train to enter Whitcomb. Well, it actually
backed into town as the bridge at the west end of town hasn’t been
installed yet. |
