Pan shot of the Mill Creek Central Railroads main yards located in the center of their layout. Located here are multiple car storage tracks, watering ports, steam bays, a hydraulic lifting turntable, and a transfer table to move locomotives from backs of pick-ups to track level with ease.
If your train is taking the through track (farthest in pics right) going away from the camera you will head into the mile long "lower loop" which will take you along Mill Creek and down to the lower roundhouse. Travel towards the camera you will round the carbarn and travel up into the "mountain division" a 3/4 mile of steep grades, tunnels, and a huge steel bridge.

big is relative. bigger then svls (sacramento valley live steamers, the local track to me), smaller then train mountain (but then, i think tm up in oregon is the world record live steam track). i think you've probably got the highest, and possibly longest, 7 1/2 inch gauge bridge though. (that guy down in texas has a long one too, but i don't think it's anywhere near as high as yours)
Not my local track either unfortunately. This is central Ohio about 7 hours drive time from me. We were all here for a convention put together by Jim O'Conner at https://www.discoverlivesteam.com
