     The Shay line is the highest line on the MannM Railroad coming in at 25" higher than Main 1. The Forney line crosses under the Shay four times while the Orient Express crosses under only twice.
 Today:













 Pictured below are the trains for which the lines were named after:
 
Construction began by building the block roadbeds:
 
A stream will start from the lumber mill and trickle all the way down to the creek.
 
 
   The tunnel on the left (brown) is for the Forney line, and the tunnel on the right (yellow) will be for the OE line. The irrigation valve boxes (green) were installed for easy access to the tunnels.
 
   The Forney line is a short loop built for one steam engine (Forney), three coaches, and a caboose. The line weaves under the shay line three times, passing through one tunnel and under two bridges.
