1000 Loop

The Union Pacific Lines travel through the small town at the front
viewing window of the layout.

From there it travels back into the mountains and tunnel under
the logging camp and around as it drops down to the level of the
new Taylor Yard previously known a EVL and Grover Yards.

At this location the 1000 Loop acts as the interface for freight
interchange between the Wharf and the rest of EVL. As the 1000
Loop trackage continues, it goes into a tunnel leading to start of
its climb into the highest mountain area on the layout.

It climbs up over the reservoir and then swings around the front
of the mountain and crosses over itself and starts the descent
back to town. At this point it passes behind the Coal Mine area.

As it enters the town in can take two routes, the freight route or
the passenger route.

2000 Loop

As it travels, the Southern Pacific Lines cross two bridges over
the far end of the town where it starts its descent down to the
double crossover, the interchange between the 1000 and
2000 Loops.

At that point it starts a climb going over a long concrete support
bridge into a two girder bridge and then past a yard going into a
long tunnel that swings the trackage around, and descends down
until it passes under itself. Now the rails start the climb back past
the town and into the tunnel that leads it to the famous Tehachapi
Loop.

The route then swings behind the Santa Susana Pass and across
the bridge that spans the river and the cliff. This bridge was
constructed of more than 200 individual pieces of wood, was
distorted by vandals, and rebuilt again. After crossing the bridge,
the trackage goes into a tunnel and reappears by the Coal Mining
area with its own yard for loading and storing hopper cars.

This takes the 2000 Loop back into a tunnel where it reappears
briefly before entering the final tunnel that brings it back to the
two bridges that cross over the end of the town.
