Here We Come A-Ballasting

Maybe the last two sections needed to ballast, then some real scenicking!

OK, hard to tell the difference since the job was already started before documentary photo was taken.

That should be all of that, thank goodness.  Now to plan the "condition" of scenes between the tracks!
