I just uploaded this video and thought many of you would find it very interesting!

It shows the complete process from start to finish of a very large wooden trestle being filled in using 36" gauge Dinkies and steam shovels over a two year period, all while the busy mainline continues to use the trestle above the worksite.
It's very long so if you just want to see the narrow gauge stuff skip ahead to minute 7:45.

Let me know if you like it and I'll post the other two similar videos I'm currently working on. Enjoy!
