Track
Plan
The layout is an around-the-walls design occupying a 12'
x 16' space. The track around the perimeter is elevated 3" and allows
for continuous running, mostly of passenger trains. The lower track is
for point-to-point operations. Maximum grade is 2.5%. Minimum curve radius
is 22" on the lower track and 30" on the upper.
Operations
Track on the left
will serve the heavy industries of Massey Harris (farm implements) and
the John Inglis Co. (boilers, turbines, appliances). The yard is based
on a small portion of the old Parkdale Yard in Toronto. The spur at the
bottom left will serve a ready-mix plant, as yet un-named.
