Big Boots & Western RR

The 7 ½  gauge  railroad currently features over 3 miles of track, with a 65 foot or larger radii on the mainline, with a maximum grade of 2% and three separate freight yards and an industrial park. The track layout is set up to approximate the SAL and the ACL as they crisscross each other from North Florida to Central Florida. The main yard can accommodate 210 pieces of rolling stock and features remote controlled  switch tracks with track detection circuitry, double ladder tracks at both ends and a drill track for building up trains without fouling the mainline. Next to the main yard is our drive through transfer table and 8 steaming bays. Our transfer table can lift 40′ of equipment up to 8 feet high in one lift. The other two yards will accommodate another 100 pieces of rolling stock. The railroad features Bi-directional running with 28 signals and plenty of passing sidings with many route options. We have more than 125 switch tracks, 5 diamonds, 2 wyes and two turnaround loops providing a lot of operation, a lot of shade covered tracks and a 60′ tunnel. The pavilion is complete with ice machine, refrigerator, TV, VCR, DVD and surround sound stereo system. Located adjacent to the pavilion is a beautiful paved picnic area with a lot of picnic tables and a bonfire pit. There is plenty of parking for R/V s and 13 service poles  with 15-30 amp electric and water. We also have a complete bath house with toilet and shower and laundry machines.
