Trackage in industrial areas

Old B&M industrial trackage in the towns around Boston don't have any elevated profile at all. The tops of the ties are pretty flush with the ground. At most, maybe the bottoms of the ties are flush with the ground. This also means that grade crossings don't put any bumps in the streets to match a higher track profile. <br /> <br />For N scale, we drop the height from the mainline down to a lower siding level and switch from code 55 to code 40. The drop can be steep because it's so short. <br /> <br />Cheers, <br />Maureen
