Do you know if the train will run under the concrete arches left over from Fords railroad. I saw these arches while working in Allen Park.

FWIW it did not.  It ran near it and could be seen from the train but the NS tracks to Ft. Wayne go E-Wish and H. Ford's arched tracks run N-S ish.

Modeling the N&W freelanced at the height of their steam era in HO.
