May 26 - The new passing siding between Bellamy and Peter’s Pond uses two left hand switches to allow a train to enter on the main (straight) from either end. Once in the siding, the lead switch has to be thrown to allow the train to leave. Then it has to be returned to its original mainline position to allow other trains to enter.
As this siding is at ground level, stooping or kneeling to throw our standard barrel bolt switch throws would have been hard on our creaky backs and knees. As the siding could not be raised, the switch throws were.
To see how the raised switch throws were made, click on the following link.

May 19 - Lawrence Watkin has built another fine station using JigStones. The station is across from the stone freight depot in Spruce that he built last winter.
