The Town of Bradley

The town of Bradley is the second  largest of the  five yards located on the CV&W. It's located on the main line from Adler Springs to WIlliamsburg and can be reached from Detown via the Grist Mill Pass running under the layout.

Upon entering Bradley you will notice Lewis Scrap Yard, named after Barb's dad who could fix just about anything from things located in his workshop. He didn't like to toss out anything that might come in handy someday.

Behind Lewis Scrap Yard is one of three turntables on the layout. Behind the Roundhouse are worker flats conveniently located next to the oil storage field.

At the East end of the yard is the yard master's tower making sure that the passenger car eventually get to the Bradley Depot. This is a tough job because of the many industries located  in the same area, and switching is rapid fire. Luckily Yardmaster Ken Riegle made things look easy.

Collin's Cove, (named after grandson Collin Larsh), is at the west end of Bradley Yard, where coal hoppers help maintain the employment of some of the area residents.

At the end of Collin's Cove is the tunnel entrance to Cuinn's Glenn.  This tunnel has a sharp curve into the glenn and most trains need to proceed with caution. Mainly because you can never be too sure if another train is coming directly at you on the track. This is why we have a dispatcher!
