Track Layout History

2007 - Jackson Loop Complete

Another track was added to the already crowded crossing at Eagle Point, making it more unique than it already was Industrial tracks were added at Jackson Loop, Fredonia and Bakewell while the Yard at Cumberland took shape Jackson Loop was the big track story for the year adding a draw bridge, tall curved trestle, tunnel and opening up access to the area above Stillhouse where the Tracy City branch reached Swanee siding and you could look down on a large area of the railroad as if viewed from a scenic overlook The Sequatchie branch did get extended at both ends for a total of about 500' of new track Additionally, the Allen Time Saver was used for the first by a visiting Boy Scout troop
