How we built a temporary track to bridge other tracks in order to reach a stock shed on Karen's Little Railway. This is a useful alternative to having to build railway points (or railroad switches, if you prefer) and crossings in order to connect to adjacent tracks or sidings. A tapered ramp leads onto a portable track panel that can be laid to join onto a nearby track at a slightly higher level (in this case crossing other tracks) in order to join a 'main line' onto a siding. In the past this was a solution sometimes used on light industrial narrow gauge railways.
