The gas electric was a bloody mess.

THAT happened on the Reading & Northern on a return trip from Jim Thorpe to
Port Clinton on an early Fall Sunday afternoon. When the sheep wandered off
the tracks, the train proceeded. There were some Baaaad jokes flying around.

I recall an incident when riding the Frankfort & Cincinnati gas electric.
A light rail main line but what could be a branch line. We were clipping along
thru a long curving cut thru a farm area. AND WE WENT RIGHT THRU A LARGE
FLOCK OF SHEEP.
Model that.

I realized how funny this sounded while writing it…
Anyway, I'm building a module and, after learning that the S-mod forum
had effectively shut down, was directed to this forum.
The module I'm building is a 48"X38" section of straight track that will
feature a spur connecting the club's two track mainline with an initially
parallel single track branch line. Picture three parallel tracks with the third
track, the branch line, set apart from the other two and connected to the
middle track by a spur and two right hand switches.
To create the illusion of spacial compression between the two track main
and the single track branch, I'm going to put a dense stand of coniferous trees
between these.
After seeing this along a long industrial siding near my house, I got the
idea of "boxing in" the spur with trees to further the illusion of space
between the two lines. This "tree tunnel" appears to have been formed as
trackside trees were trimmed up to a height of approximately 20' but spread out
above this point and eventually the trees on either side of the track merged
together at the 20' level, creating a "tunnel" of foliage.
Now this occurred along a (presumably privately owned) industrial siding
that serves a single business but receives several deliveries a week and where
cars are regularly shuffled by a trackmobile, would FRA rules permit the same
thing to occur along a slightly used spur?
I might be getting a little ahead of myself since I'm still laying
homasote, but this'll help me plan my module.
