Mercade Pass

Mercade Pass is a small junction located next to the engine sheds. It is here that all the points and signals are operated as well as security surveillance. 
The area originally had one return curve which proved to be a bit too tight for some locos and rolling stock, so an extension line was constructed which featured a more larger radius curve, but also had a bit of a climb for the engines to make it. 
Mercade Pass is named after it's signalman, Stephen, who was given the position as signalman after his good work while helping out at the railway. He works within a small ground signal box which is located at the fork of the junction, near the level crossing.
== Trivia ==
* On the real miniature railway, the junction never had a name not did it have a signal box. The original track route was never used since the opening of the extension track, except for storing spare engines.
