Track plan

Here is the updated track plan as of February 2021, showing the existing layout in black and possible future extensions in blue.  The main changes to the original track plan are the addition of the trestle over the Mill River and the Maine Central crossing and ball signal.  The layout occupies an 8' x 13' room in my basement; the potential quarry branch would extend into an adjacent room.
