Glad my flex track was never that 'floppy'.

Looks like Atlas Code 83, but the ties are too dark... Whistling

That's some kink. Looks like they'll match what's there already.

An update

They have posted a sign near the crossing informing motorists that the road will be closed Aug 2-9 Makes me think that that section is going to replace the current grade crossing track. It is a bit rough

Maybe they should try some atlas 1:1 re-railer track. Seems like it would be pre-done and take less time. Big Smile
