5: EC-11 has come to a stop and Decapod #4668 will
be added behind the cabin car.
SE-32 is safely in the siding, you are cleared all the way to
Conway Yard, so you can pass through the town of Summit
without stopping.
The Summit stationmaster waves as your locomotive thunders
past. After more open-country running, you complete your run
over the Pennsylvania & Western, and tie up in Conway Yard,
having negotiated three long Warren truss bridges, two plate
girder bridges, a steel trestle, a curved wooden trestle, and
several tunnels in about five scale miles of main line.
This kind of action happens regularly in my basement. My
Pennsylvania & Western RR is a large layout, measuring 28 by
52 feet, with a 10' by 12' extension that houses my version of
Horseshoe Curve. The overall dimensions of the visible layout
are thus 40 by 52 feet.
