The Mysterious" Middle Part Of The "New" JJJ&E connects the Switching Yard/Turntable side of the layout to The San Marino and Monterrey River Valley side of the "New" JJJ&E.
This part of the layout was named the "Mysterious" Middle Part Of The "New" JJJ&E because this part of the layout was last to be photographed. This connecting part of the "New" JJJ&E is 12 feet long and 30 inches wide.
Industrial buildings are used to cover the Vinyl Roof Flashing backdrop on this side of the layout. The three windows in this part of the room were covered partially with foam board that is 24 inches high and over eight feet long. The white foam board was painted the same sky blue color that I used on the Vinyl Roof Flashing. These foam board panels can be removed if I want to get access to the three windows.
There are six industries on this part of the "new" JJJ&E. Bowdens Lumber Company, Cash Coal Mining Company, The Broken Tree "Jurgens" Junk Yard, Repairman's Row, Eagle Mining Company & the San Marino Mercantile Dry Goods Company are the six industries on the "Mysterious Middle Part Of The "New" JJJ&E.
There are also two train stations on this part of the layout; a two story SP station on an in-bound track and a ATSF "style" station on an out-bound track.
Below are photo's that show an overview of the "Mysterious' Middle Part of the "New" JJJ&E.
