Interesting track on right, looks like dual gauge. Or is it gauntlet (gantlet) as the rails appear to converge at the top of the hill?

DanielB Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Claremont and Concord - great little interurban. Shame that most of the tracks are gone now. ย Could the odd layout of the track on the right be related to the grade? Or maybe even power related - a lot of the line was run by electric power at one point, I believe. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
