Up the Creek Column - 8
19: Joe Brugger and Paul Mack at work getting the final
piece of South Jackson mainline installed in preparation
for a historic first run. By the end of the work session
the four mainline turnouts and mainline through South
Jackson were installed and wired. Nothing burst into
flame when track power was turned on so we brought
a train up the helix out of staging to test the newly
installed track.
20: The first thing we discovered was some of the helix
junction Tortoise controller wiring had been uprooted.
Arghh. A few minutes with the soldering iron, and it was
good as new again.
21: With the helix junction turnouts behaving again,
we were able to select the correct route for a train
traveling from staging into (and hopefully, through)
South Jackson.
