Monarch Branch

Hi gang. I've recently discovered the Monarch Branch in the Fall 2010 issue of Classic Trains and have become quite interested in it. I'm thinking about building an HOn3 layout of it but have not been able to find and track arrangements. I've found plenty of photos on the web but that isn't enough to do justice to the branch. Here's a list of the questions I have. If any of you can provide track layouts or direct me to where I might find them, I'd be very grateful.

Was there a wye at Maysville? A couple of the photos I've found appear to show one.

Where was the wye at Monarch? There had to be one but I haven't seen a photo.

Where there two mines at Monarch?

Was there a siding at the bottom of the switchback? One photo that I found was identified as the bottom of the switchback and shows a siding, but it is the only photo I've seen that does. Perhaps the photo was misidentified.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
