Roy's Trestle

 
My friend Roy has an very nice backyard layout and when Roy decided to add a new extension to his layout's right-of-way I had the opportunity to build about 15 feet of trestle where the mainline makes a loop around a big bush and heads back towards town.

Roy Ogle runs an outstanding little train and hobby shop in the middle of Old Town in Clovis California called (as you might guess) Roy's Trains.
 
The trestle is made up of six sections of Aristo Craft 10' curve pieces of track with a seventh piece reversed to make an S-curve as the track curves back along the fence.
 
The starting point is back in the corner of the yard behind the enormous bush. Some excavating with a shovel made for a smooth transition from dirt to trestle. Each end has a small retaining wall as seen in the picture.
