Silicon Valley Lines: Layout Tour - Ravin
Ravine is just past Proctor, and is aptly named due to the surrounding landscape. Unlike much of the SVL, the ground isn't flat here. Instead the engineers need to duck in and out of the tunnels, tiptoe across redwood trestles, and cope with the harsh weather. As you can see, the track crew is still busy blasting through the styrofoam strata, so in order to continue the end of the line, SVL is utilizing the Quinn branch to bypass Ravine and the remainder of mountain range.
