Finding Waldo Part 3

The last section to be built will be the connection to the Cougar Ridge Lumber Co. Railroad main line.  This will be a section of hand laid track and a trestle joining the turnout from CRLC up to the first switch back.  I thought about building the two trestles at the first switch back for a while.  It would have been much easier to have no trestles at all.  However, there is a nice valley there and I like trestles.  This also allows me to model in the old wagon road to Waldo through the valley under the trestles.  It is still up in the air if the road will be still in use (bridges in the trestles) or just a few overgrown sections still visible.
