Prototype Track Plan

The image at the top of the page is the prototype track plan for San Anselmo for 1900.
The photo to the left from 1898 does not show all the structures on the plan. |
NPC Garden RR Track Plan
 |
To the left is a horizontally reversed image of the San Anselmo
track plan, the way in which it will be modeled. Beginning with
the line coming from San Francisco at the bottom of the image, the
branch to San Rafael will exit to to the left through a tunnel under the
staircase. The branch to Cazadero, shown exiting to the right,
will loop back left and pass through the lower tunnel in the staircase. San Anselmo Creek
will begin to the left of the track from San Francisco and will cross
over to the right. From there it will follow the main line toward Cazadero as
it does in this reversed image. Structures shown on
the track plan will be modeled as well as sidings and the wye. Not
all structures are shown in the above 1898 photo. |

This photo shows the general area in which San Anselmo will be
constructed. The main line from Sausalito will enter from the
bottom of the photo. The branch line to San Rafael will curve left and
pass through the upper tunnel under the staircase in the middle of the
photo. Meanwhile the main line to Cazadero will turn right then
loop left, passing through the lower tunnel near the middle right edge
of the photo. The San Anselmo yards will be located just above the
lower tunnel, ending near the staircase. |
Construction
The yard trackage will be laid concurrently with the Trackage 1 project. Structures were very limited in San Anselmo
in the period being modeled and will focus primarily on railroad structures.
The structures will be built in the winter of 2007-8 for installation in the Spring
of 2008.
