  We have proposed a total of 370 feet of track for phase 1. 

On some track  

Late in October of 2005 - I purchased 1500 feet (457m) of  3/8"x 1" steel for track.

Work has been interfering with track and railcar construction!!

Prior to July 29, 2006 - I constructed a rail bender, and a tie puller to help install the ties on the track.   -    pictured below.
