San Rafael Yards

Prototype Track Plan

The above image image shows the NPC track plan in San Rafael.  There were two stations on the NPC line, one the West End Station and the other the B Street Station.

NPC Garden RR Track Plan

Once the line to San Rafael has passed through the upper tunnel (barely visible on the right side of the photo), it will traverse the hill looping back to the lower tunnel at the left of the photo.  While traversing this loop, the San Rafael yards will be modeled.

Once the line leaving San Rafael has passed through the power tunnel it will extend to the lower holding pond of the water feature.  The San Quentin docks will be modeled in the water feature.

At this point no final decisions have been made as to how the San Rafael yards will be modeled.  When the decision has been made, an update will be posted.

Construction

The yard trackage will be laid concurrently with the Trackage 1 project.  Structures included both railroad and non-railroad structures.  A representative number of structures in the immediate vicinity of the tracks will be modeled.  The structures will be built in the winter of 2007-8 for installation in the Spring of 2008.
