OE & RhB Lines

The Orient Express line and RhB lines are located on the far end of the layout. These lines are named after the LGB model that they were designed for. The RhB is the lowest layer on the interior and is about the same elevation as Main 2. The Orient Express (OE) line is 12 inches higher than the RhB line. The OE will pass over the RhB twice and will also travel under the Shay line. In 2010, the Rack Railway was added that travels through this area.

Today

The three block high retaining wall is the roadbed for the Orient Express. The RhB line is the cement strip running through the dirt in the center of the picture.

Here is the OE line before the addition of the Shay line:

The RhB runs through the canyon.
