The Pickens & Webster Springs has a short S curve on its standard gauge trackage. The only loco is a 44-tonner and the only cars are 50's era 32-40 foot hoppers and boxcars. I've pushed a string of 5 cars through the location and there have been no problems. The trains will be short and traveling at extremely low speed to the junction at Tuckersville. Do any of you track gurus foresee any problems?

Lest I forget, the Brill railbus will run this line also, but it's a shorty too and a single car, not a full train.
