Hi Dan,

We built 800' north of the bridge and will add another 90' towards Rt 218 in 2020. There will be a passing siding (with a small turntable at the north end) built next year.

If we cross the state road we could build another half mile up through the cut at the Head Tide church or build south from Sheepscot about a half mile.
These extensions would give us over 4.5 miles of mainline on the original grade but the plan is to finish the new track and do maintenance on the current 3.5 miles first.
