The Molossia Railroad has seen a flurry of activity in recent days. In response to engineer demand, two switches leading to and from the Lizard Mountain branch have been reworked. These two switches created a potential derailment problem due to their abrupt curves. They have been straightened and tested, and demonstrate a great improvement in railroad operations. In addition, a new switch has been emplaced near Steinsdorf, and another near Silver Hill, in anticipation of a planned extension of the line in that latter area. Further, a tunnel has been driven through Silver Hill, with a spur constructed beyond the tunnel, also in anticipation of the planned extension. To take advantage of recent silver discoveries on Silver Hill, a station and water tower have been built, adjacent to the hill, on the Dry Gulch Route. |
