Album: 11/7/2011 update

Model view of the same scene. I plan to model the I-80 bridges in the prototype photo as part of my current project to finish and scenic Bluffs Yard.

IAIS yard and road crews don't turn their own power at Bluffs yard, and since I didn't have enough for a hostler to do here to keep them busy as a separate position, the turntable won't be used during operating sessions. It isn't needed then anyway, as most road consists came west to Council Bluffs with an east-facing unit in the consist anyway. For that reason, since the turntable will only be used when I'm on my own, I decided to keep things simple and turn it manually.
