Jim Thorpe: Junction with Big Interchange

Junctions with active interchange are one of my favorites.

This is one of my two junctions I developed on concepts published by Paul Mallery and the TMRCI.

Maybe these track plans will be used at our modules at americaN some time?

Jim Thorpe -J unction is a junction of the class 1 railroad HD, the interurban traction line TN, and the terminal railroad MCT.

MCT  (= Mauch Chunk Terminal RR) is a "Terminal Railroad", and it does all the switching in the yard, at TN-Interchange, and all the switching in the industrial area on the left.

This TN interchange was (still is?) the most active live interchange of a model railroad: about 150 cars are interchanged at one operating session!

More information about the TN Trenton Northern Traction RR you can read here.
