Wow, 79 bucks! But, if it's quality, I would not rule it out. You are in some GREAT trout water my friend in Central Pa! I love to fly fish Yellow Breeches, Little Juniata as well as the Letort and Spring Creek. Lucky man you are, trout & trains! Jake

Ross makes an 11 degree crossing, but they sell for 79.95.

Shucks, I don't really know, I didn't measure it, but it's pretty tight. The conventional stuff won't work, I do know that, but I never thought to check and see what else might be available. Does anyone do specialty track? Thanks, Jake

Are you sure there is nothing out there?  What angle are you looking for?

Making cross over track
Posted by Fred Bear on Monday, September 4, 2006 9:57 AM
Is it possible to cut track to make and X cross over that is a steeper degree than the stuff that's manufactured? In other words, I need an angle that is tighter than the regular X crossing stuff that was offered. Thanks for any suggestions, Jake
