HESR Shelf Layout I-75 Overpass [Explored]

            Working on a college campus, the May graduation season leaves little time for modeling.  I have however started construction on two Rix Products highway bridges that will serve as a visual end to my Huron and Eastern Railroad HO shelf layout.                
The bridges collectively form the southbound and northbound lanes carrying traffic on I-75 over the HESR’s Wenona Yard.   While the prototype does pass below several concrete bridges and Interstate 75, I’ve taken a bit of modeler’s license to move the highway to the Kawkawlin yard scene.

The bridges are structurally complete at this time, but have yet to be weathered and installed on the layout.  I plan to finish scenery work beneath them before their final installation.  I am still considering the addition of a mirror at the end of the yard tracks to suggest a larger yard.
