Silicon Valley Lines: Layout Tour - Kaos

Aptly named, Kaos features an interchange, and also is the start of the SVL mountain division. Lines to Jasper Junction, Kallispell, and the upper level make this part of the road a great spot for railfans. Kaos is one of the first places that visitors to the club will see, so it is one of the first places with painted track, ballast, and ground cover.
