#4 Trestles, Bridges & Cribbing
Planned visual elements for Sunset Hill’s Illiana Train Society “Bull Moose Line”
#4 Trestles, Bridges & Cribbing
These visual effects will offer the “Bull Moose Line” a unique suspended right-of-way on a series of trestle bents. Trains will travel the track over a roadway held in place by cribbing timbers to join wooden trestle bents that carry the track elevation up and around the lower mill pond to a crossover compression bridge. Following the risers upgrade the trains will move along track to circle the upper reflection pond, then descend along a cribbing held roadway through a tunnel to once again circle the lower mill pond.
An addition covered bridge will sit as a set piece on the track, over the water fall on the upper reflection pond, where Thomas The Train and friends will travel.
