here is a picture of the old train station in Rothesay

and here are a few more, the CN SD75i and SD50 are preparing to haul some empty cars to Sussex to be filled, I believe the GP9u is used as a switcher

a few more, this old road switcher was a noisey one, it is owned by the pot ash company, they unload each car in the small "barn" then it is stored in the large storage barns where it is then transported onto ships by the convayers, the potash cars are brought from Sussex to Saint John by...

yea, thats exactly what i need to do

thanks for your help

thanks for all of your help, i am going to be using dcc when my mrc prodigy advace arrives, thanks railway bob for the help. i never knew about a bus line or track feeding every 3 feet, hopefully i can get this to work, i'll get the rest of my track plan on here if i can
