Gallery As layout construction progresses, I'm able once in a while to capture a finished-looking scene. Click the thumbnails for 400 x 600 pixel enlargements that open in pop-ups (newer photos are also available in "supersized" 800 x 1200 pixel versions). See the Milestones page for more images. |

A re-lettered Reading GP7 trundles across the James River Bridge with a Reading hopper and a modified Reading caboose in tow. In order to capture this view, a first-surface mirror was placed on the benchwork, with the camera aimed down. The resulting image was then flipped vertically. |
