from the perspective of Ron
Simpson, CRD model railroad builder
Above: Google-Earth image showing the KMR line and WP extension
line superimposed. The KMR never extended beyond Sulphur Springs, KMR MP
31, except as a dream by the original railroad developers of the KMR.
Below: The CRD model railroad plan
showing the extension of the White Pass & Yukon Railway (already
constructed) to KMR MP 31 (not yet built).
View (6/23/2010) showing the end of
the extension as it approaches the area tentatively labeled "Sulphur
Springs Wye."
The rail extension supports reach the ground at a high point after
bridging a low, brushy area. This will be the first point on the entire
layout where the track supports actually rest on the ground.
