that is where Cody got the idea also Drew, KJ, Ben, Charlie, and Mike and Tom went to Lennon Stone Products which is what Winter Hill is based off of. Once they got the prototype photos Winter Hill was built.
good work MR the Winter Hill Mine looks a whole lot better 4 years ago it was nothing but old plywood and bubble wrap scenery with un-ballasted ties and switches that did not even work. today Winter Hill looks better then it did in 2010 only a few projects left and you can start installing signals.
there are two trains that come into Winter Hill during the day but must arrive one at a time. T011 is the Rock Train this train starts on the WSOR at Troy and comes up the branch to Winter Hill and picks up gravel to deliver to Licon which is a concrete tie plant in Madison. the last train is The Bay Junction Switcher which brings cars down from Bay Junction and switches Larson Stone and Continental Building Materials. on the first trip the Bay Junction Switcher picks up loaded boxcars full of shingles and hoppers full of gravel dropped off during the last shift and clears the track for loading by T011. on the second trip the Bay Junction Switcher delivers empty hoppers for loading at Larson Stone and picks up empty tank cars and empty boxcars from Continental's Receiving Dock and the Oil Track and replaces them with loaded cars. The Bay Junction Switcher also switches Bay Junction itself and the Grain Elevator and Feed Mill in Lake Beulah plus switching cars delivered by the Bay Junction Turn and the Rockford Train to the Wisconsin Southern for delivery in Troy.
Reminds me of Cody's visit to Sioux Falls' Ellis & Eastern RR back in June to see their rock quarry! Looks great so far....

Looks like it’s modeled after the spurs in Idaho and Mt not so much in Wi. Pink lady ballast would be the closest but needs C&NW power.
Hediger is a link to ols achool MR
Nice project.
Did they really base Glacier Gravel off that structure?
yes and it is in Case 4 in the MR Museum.
missed these issues what,s the size off the layout
watch Cody's MR&T tour video
Nice layout,interesting industry and very well photographed but too much talking.
