Moving the KLW&K: A Tour of Lawrence Johnson’s "Groovy Track"
The KLW&K Railroad in Illinois has been sold, and we’re on-site to help with the initial stages of pulling up the track. All of this equipment is heading to the Canton Cuba and Western Railroad. Since it's been years since a train has run here, I wanted to document Lawrence Johnson's innovative engineering before it's gone. In this video, we look at: The unique movable point frog switches and handmade harp switch stands. The "Groovy Track" system Lawrence pioneered. A tour of the yard, including the three-way switch and the 10-12 foot steel box bridge. The process of pulling up track panels with Rich from the CC&W.
