I couldn't help but notice @ 1:19-1:25 That layout of track as the driver sees it a tight Right-Left turn when there seems to be plenty of land to install a Large Y Point which reduce tension & possible derailment zone on the train! As always Great Work, Well Done! 10/10

+TheAudiostud Many thanks. I have no idea when the original layout was built, but the tight turns reduce the speed, for sure. Macon has a very long railroad history, especially in the industrial area. Maybe, the layout is simply outdated.

@reganrickson795

+TheAudiostud Brosnan Yard was built after the Southern took over the Central of Georgia in 1963, and miles of trackage were built or relocated going into the yard. Train speeds were probably slower and trains shorter back then, not to mention capital being more scarce.

Fantastic video dear Friend love it. God bless you.
