I have thought about that quiet a bit. My problem there is this. This rail starts/will start in my garage where all stock and locos will be kept. It proceed through the wall across the yard and into the garden which also contains a grilling/social area. In order to give guests, and self the best view, the train needs to rise to the top of the 48" wall that defines the social area. It then circles the entire social area crosses a "creek" then the pond and around the "mountain". If I excavate the patio end to lessen the grade, the train would be out of view behind the wall. If I drop the wall, which also is the bench back, there won't be enough support to lean back on. I am thinking about just filling in near the wall of the garage and bridging it, thus isolating about 1/3 of my lawn, which I had hoped to avoid. Originally I was going to tunnel it. It is app 15-20 feet and some old timers have said I could never pull that kind of tunnel off esp, without having access to it. By the way, we just visited Virginia and W.Virgina (Natural tunnel State Park area and Roanoke area) and we are adolescently in love with the palce.
