The Photobucket site is down and according to their twitter stream "Update: Our team is currently working on some intermittent issues with the site. You may not be able to access your account during this time." this was at 10:30 EDT today.
Imgur.com may work for you. The link has to end in a picture type extension like .jpg There is a detailed post on how to post photos in the general forum

I believe the only way to upload a picture on this site is through a hosting site like Photobucket. Then click on the "add picture" button and copy the link into it.

How do I insert a picture from a cell phone? I have the track plan on my cell. Thanks to a guy on Facebook Wisconsin Central modelers
Yes, this is the plan I was talking about. Does anyone have a copy of the plan, or is it in the track plan database.
Thanks for the info. This is the crusher/loader they used in the original plan.
I think you are right about the wisconsin central.

A below-ground quarry was part of the N scale Wisconsin Central series, as others have noted. The description of building the quarry itself was in the March 1998 issue of Model Railroader.
The 9-part series began in July 1997.

The Wisconsin Central project actually did have that as part of it. That was in the late 1997 timeframe, into 1998. I believe this will be Dec of 1997 or Jan of 1998 that you are looking for. I remember because those were the first two issues I ever purchased.

ChoopsI am pretty sure it was the appalacian central.
That trackplan is on the MR site and it also appeared in a Kalmbach book Project Railroads You Can Build, which is on Google books, and I'm not seeing a quarry.
I am pretty sure it was the appalacian central.

The Winter Hill series built a quarry branch line on their Milwaukee Racine & Troy RR. They used the quarry previously built by Gordon Odegard. Maybe someone with archive access can find the original quarry build.
Does anyone remember what years that Model Railroaded built a track in a series in which they added a rock quarry onto the side of the layout lower than the original layout? I believe it dealt with the Wisconsin Central or was in Wisconsin. It was a series over a couple of magazines. Maybe late 90's or early 2000's.
